Kent and Argyle Sts., The Rocks Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2000, 61-2-9251-4044
When we planned our trip, culture was pretty low on my list of reasons for travelling. However, over the past couple of months we've both grown to appreciate that side of travel much more. Indeed having got used to feeling different to those around us and not seeing familiar sights it was strange to be somewhere that felt so much like home again. That's not to say that everything is the same here as back in Britain. Its unlikely that a local radio advert in the UK would tell you that "Highlif...
Sydney, Australia andyheatherMy parents were supposed to fly in on Sunday, March 9th for a 10-day visit, but as luck would have it the last leg of their journey was cancelled. This gave them a whole day of sight-seeing in LA, but one less day in Sydney. It was too late for us to cancel the hotel reservation for that night, so I got to live it up in a room for three at the Lord Nelson Brewery. Quite the change after staying in hostels for the past two months! They finally arrived early Monday morning, and we wasted no tim...
Sydney, Australia edieterSo, where were we? It´s been a while... Ah yes, just before Christmas, Syndey and all that... The day after we arrived in Sydney we took it upon ourselves to visit Royal Randwick for a day at the races. And what a day it turned out to be. Despite my outstanding track record at the race evenings arranged by Thales (i.e. averaging one winner per year), I ran out of superlatives to describe my betting that day. I managed to pick five out the eight winners, including a run of three whose winning ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia sonandjim... of the city, and we find ibis and more flying
foxes. We start to look at those strange animals as if they were the most
common thing to find in a city. There are great views of the famous Sidney
Harvour, with its big bridge and the Opera House. We are surprised by
a great show, in an aboriginal art shop. There's a guy playing the didgeridoo
as I never heard it before, mixing with the monotonous ...
... Needless to say I avoided sitting next to him on my next shift.
I have only been there 2 weeks & already been nominated for 'Employee of the Month' how hilarious is that?? but also nice that someone has nominated me. you get $200 if you win.
I had a few interviews before this one but never got them due to me being on a working visa as people didn't just want to employ people for 6 months. I had a interview at French Connection in the city centre, think one of the ...
... prior to traveling this will be my last entry before leaving. Why? Let me count the chores. There's washing, cleaning, gardening, packing and that's before I set foot outside the front gate. In fact, there's enough work inside "Home Sweet Home" to last me for the next month or so. We're fortunate in that my sister and brother in law are coming to house sit for the duration of the holiday but the phrase ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia kruger2capetown... 8217;s life, or someone who’s getting married!! We then get to our room. It’s a hut with four rooms, three that sleep four and one that sleeps 2, our room. It was ok, especially if we compared it to the Yellow Submarine. So we started to settle in and went for a wander around our hut. We found the eating/drinking area, which seemed ok, although there was no one around. On retuning to our room, we couldn’t open the door. After what seemed like an age, we decided ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia tobszanni... for the day and wandered around Sydney itself collecting free chocolate covered coffee beans from a machine in the middle of the street, but i cant seem to remember what else we did! (Will have to look at the journal!) On one day Joe and Eve decided to climb the harbour bridge... deciding it was too expensive i oppted for the free version and walked over it on the pedestrian walkway which goes next to the ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia viki_fish... tzig, denn wir durften unsere letzte Nacht darin schlafen und wurden sogar am nächsten Morgen noch zum Flughafen gebracht. Nach 3,5 std. Flug landen wir in der 3,6 Mio. Metropole Sydney. Rafael hatte bei seiner Reise in Neuseeland einen Texaner kennen gelernt der zurzeit hier wohnt. Wir dürfen bei ihm und seinem Mitbewohner (namens Holland!) für ein paar Tage einziehen. Die beiden wohnen in Collaroy, einem Vorort gute 40 Busminuten ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia haensi... with my bags etc. Plus I don't think I will be in the mood for public transport after a 16 hour flight ! Nipped up to the convenience store and bought some noodles and crisp for dinner as I wasn't really that hungry after my lunch. I was reading my book in the communal area and the French guys were all checking out but there was a bit of a hoo haa as they all needed to get washed up before leaving but had all given there room keys in so had ...
