This will be Martins journey to work each day. The ferry takes around 25 mins to reach the CBD and is a lovely way to get to work! Travel here is really cheap costing only £20 a week each for an unlimited card to use ferrys, buses and rail networks across the city. Bargain! They also have no on or off peak times so everyone pays the same price. ...

Even though we have been on holidays since Friday and we fly tomorrow, Tuseday, J and I have been dying with a head cold. A fairly miserable start but fingers crossed that we'll mend up in time before we get on the plane.

Just testng to make sure this thing works before we head off for our big adventure tomorrow... we are so excited.... will post news soon Cath and Kim

Sydney, 30.05.07 Unser erster Eindruck: Die Stadt ist super sympatisch. Die Sonne geht gerade unter waehrend wir Richtung Darling Harbour schlender. Fuer den 1. Abend haben wir uns direkt ein Highlight rausgesucht: Das Sydney Aquarium. Da ansonsten nicht so viele Leute die Idee hatten bis 22 Uhr ihren Abend im Aquarium zu verbringen, konnten wir...

Saturday, 14.4. Interesting ... is not a good description ? I woke up rather early, still very tired from my tour around Sydney yesterday ? My quest for the day was; go to Bondi beach and see the famous surf scene ? there! It takes 20 mins to get to the Bondi Junction with the subway and then you have to transfer to the bus to get to the beach. ...

Today it's warm and sunny, the nicest day in quite some time. It would actually be a nice day for the beach but by the time we're ready to get out the house it's getting on for 1pm, a shock considering I was up at 10am. It takes us about an hour to get to Bondi and with the sun setting early we'd only have a couple of hours there. Instead, we de...

We've finally made it to our last stop in big old Australia. We flew with  Jetstar from Melbourne and arrived here sunday morning. We decided to get the train to the central city line and then the Manly ferry. Were saw all the best sites on the way, the Sydney Harbor bridge and the Opera House. We arrived in Manly on two hours sleep and fou...

The first stop today was the Featherdale Wildlife Park. This was a zoo just outside the centre of Sydney. More chances to see kangeroos and koala bears, up close this time. As Mark approached the centre, he warned us of a local character called Ted. We looked at each other with fearful trepidation; was this some escapee from the local mental hom...

Hey guys, It's been a long time since we gave you some news, we've been pretty busy and haven't had time to update the blog, sorry! Since the skydive, we've been to the famous Taronga zoo (http://www.zoo.nsw.gov.au/), you'll see the pictures soon, it's a pretty amazing place, we spent the whole day there and had so much fun. Caro and Guy ha...

I'm sure I will surprise some readers... but I AM HOME!  I am writing from Sydney's Base Hostel, utterly exhausted, jetlagged and bloody excited mate:) I decided to cut Santiago out of my itinerary completely at the last minute.  More of that later. But I have been back in the country for just over 3 hours and so glad to be home amongs...
