Ah ha! Two weeks in Australia? Are you crazy, Mate? You'll spend more time travelling than enjoying! Well, that is what I heard time and time again, but i thought, "I only have 2 weeks; do I NOT go or do what I can?". Off we went! Scott, Brooke, Mark and me...and man oh man, am i glad I did!!!! March 7, 2008 seemed like an enternity away when I was planning this 'trip of a lifetime' and suddenly, there it was! Mother nature played tricks on us and decided to dump Toronto's worse snow storm si...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia anita63Of course if you will stay walking distance harbour you should never miss to see the Opera house and the sydney bridge not just one time but during day time, sunset, and night time ( you will agree with me if you love taking pix!). Another suggestion is for you to ride a tram to roam the city, this is a day tour (a lot to see, promise!). If its summer, its worth going to Bondi Beach, i feel like im in a bay watch tv series. Dont let me compare Philippines' beaches because its really different...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia chenselisanaEindelik Sydney... Is baie opgewonde. Ek is moeg, want die slaap op die vlug was min en ongemaklik. Iemand kry my op die lughawe waar ons natuurlik hotel toe is. Ek het gebly in die Sydney Harbour Marriot hotel met 'n kamer wat 'n "opera view" het. Blykbaar betaal jy meer vir so 'n kamer as vir die ander kamers. Daar het ek 'n paar dae gebly om die opening gane te kyk en Syndey te verken. Ek het die volgende paar weke rond gevlieg in Australia, so ek gaan dit probeer onthou.
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia nicky.bekker(Jim) Sydney is a great town, though there is one aspect of life here that seems odd to the American visitor. Alcohol consumption in Australia is ubiquitous, enthusiastic and unapologetic. A local newspaper's Friday edition had a cover story on "Best Places to Get Hammered This Weekend." Given the strong strain of neo-Puritanism that is so evident in the U. S. and Europe these days, complete with zero-tolerance policies on drinking and driving, seeing the in-your-face promotion of drinking he...
Sydney, Australia oneyearawaySydney is a gorgeous city! We just loved walking about the city, enjoying the skyline, Harbor Bridge, Opera House, parks, architecture & art etc. etc. However, we weren't mentally prepared for the cost of things. The train ride from the airport to downtown was $15 a person! A meal at one of the take-out/food courts was 10-15$. We were in sticker shock after coming from SE Asia, where a decent restaurant meal was $3-5 and we could rent private transportation the whole day for $12 for both ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia sfrtw I realize I have missed a few days of blogging, and no worries, I'll fill you in on those later.
It's now time for this sheila (female) and bloke (male) to see if all their luggage will fit in the boot (trunk) of their car and choof off (depart) from the Land Down Under. We have a breather (short rest) here at the Sydney Marriott (or casino for some) prior to catching our flights out in the a.m. I miss my dish-lickers (dogs) and I'm ready to head home. I have enjoyed the cool weather ...
Today started off poorly. I had arranged a tour to depart at 7:30 a.m and was at my departure spot at the appointed time. The concierge informed me that the driver was running "a little behind", so I waited and waited. Around 8:30 the concierge came up to me looking grim and informed me that the tour guide had forgotten me altogether and therefore I wouldn't be taking the tour. I was not a Happy Camper to say the least but I didn't let it show, as it wasn't the concierge's fault. The good new...
