Greetings from Bondi Beach! We have had a busy and fun first day here in Sydney. Except for me, everyone eventually fell back to sleep at dawn. I entertained myself by watching people on Bondi Beach from our hotel-room window (scores of runners, cyclists and swimmers before 6 am), and by reading Jay McInerney's new collection of short stories, "The Last Bachelor." He can definitely write, but his themes of post-9/11 angst, infidelity, and anger at his Nashville ex-wife are a little tediou...

Greetings from Bondi Beach! As we hoped, yesterday we got our circadian rhythms back on track, and had a tremendous and exhausting day in Sydney.India and I were both up early. In a major change to household patterns and trip protocol, I went out for a run before her. Our hotel (www.ravesis.com.au) is across the street from the center of Bondi Beach. I ran left (north) to the end of the beach, and then south along the coastal path to Tamarama and Bronte Beach. Brutally hot, even at 7:30, ...

CREEPY BUT FAMOUS FACE Greetings from Bondi Beach!A Tallulah's suggestion, we spent most of today at Sydney's famous Luna Park. It is an amusement park located in North Sydney, just at the end of the Harbour Bridge, set magnificently right next to the water.Luna Park is old school. It was first opened in 1935, transplanted en bloc from a park in Adelaide, after being chased out by that city's residents. Adelaide's loss, I guess. In the intervening 73 years, Luna Park has been embroiled in...

G'day Mates - I am in Sydney, Australia! It was a long flight from South Africa but we got to fly on the upper deck, which was awesome! All of us are a lot jet-lagged, but we still had a great first day here. This morning we went for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Taronga Zoo with one of the zookeepers, Diane. She is in charge of the Australian mammals and she taught us a lot about what it is like to be a zookeeper, a super cool job. She has to do a lot of things every day, like feed them, w...

First, I forgot to say that when we landed in Sydney two days ago, I have now been to six of the seven continents!!! The only one left is Antartica - I can't believe it! I have also gone swimming in the Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, Aegean, and Tasman Seas - wow! Sydney is the place where real swimming started - I learned yesterday that Australians were the first people to do the freestyle crawl (they called it the "Australian crawl"). Australians seem to swim (or run or hike or b...

Today we went to Luna Park, which is the oldest theme park in all of Australia. It opened in 1935 and it is right under the Harbour Bridge (which was built in 1932, I think.) Some of the rides are even that old, but they are all in great condition (not like the ferris wheel in India!) After riding the carousel and the giant ferris wheel with Mom, Dad, and Lu, Dad and I went to ride some super fast rides. From the ferris wheel, we could see all of Sydney, including the Opera House, the Bridge,...

... harbour with the bridge and opera house that I actually felt like I was there. On a map Sydney looks very confusing but I actually felt as if I got to know it really well in just my first week. After my 6am flight from Tasmania I didn't feel much like doing anything when I arrived in Sydney but I know sitting in a dorm room not talking to anyone isn't the way to meet people. So I went on a city tour with some people from the hostel. It was a really good ...

Yvette: got the bus to bondi to do a coastal walk from here to Coogee. It was nice walking past all the different beaches, some had very different personalities such as Tamarama which was much more glamorous, whereas Bondi is more diverse, lots of surfers, people playing games on the beach etc. Lots of saltwater pools on the edge of the sea which is a good idea if you don't like waves I suppose? seems a ...

... into Hickson Street all the time looking for an area they called Bangaroo (this was about 2 miles). We realized we had passed all of the boat loading areas and we look at a map and the only thing we could see were some historical piers, so we decided to head back toward Circular Quay were we had seen the Overseas Passenger Terminal. We head in there thinking they might have a clue what we were looking for and a man claimed to know were we needed to go and ...

... even know why they have that fear...maybe they are afraid of failure? But it was like, I finally did it, you know? I worked really, really hard to get here. I finished two years of university early, saved up everything I could and sold my beloved car to live of my dream of getting out that tiny, close-minded Utah coal mining town that I lived in for 18 years, with all those people asking me "why? Why do I want to go Australia?" Well maybe because I'm a ...
