Cafe Sydney

Dear family & friends, We have decided to kill some time whilst our household goods are being shipped back to Oslo. We will upload this Travelblog with our adventures and photos when we can find an internet cafe!! Jorgen & Anne

... just enough time to get ready before Lucy arrived for a quick glass of wine before heading out for dinner! We went out to Cafe Sydney for dinner, unfortunately (!) our table wasn't ready so we had to have a pre-dinner drink. I had a cocktail, Breakfast ...

... train to Town Hall and switch trains to Circular Quay, a 10 minute ride in all. The public transportation here is very efficient. Sydney makes use of trains, buses, and ferries. After settling in at the Mercure, we decide to get ready and head on out. We ...

... of the city, then through gorgeous Hyde Park back to the hotel. That evening, I surprised Frits with a dinner at Cafe Sydney; a Sydney institution, above the Customs House at Circular Quay. The food was great (delicious scallops!) and the view of the ...

... a great pizza place called Young Alfreds, and then popped upstairs for another cheeky drink (after a bottle of wine between us) at Cafe Sydney - it's expensive to eat there, and I can see why as the views over the harbour are awesome. Last weekend Emma ...

... , and could see all of the places we still wanted to go to. Next stop: Hard Rock Cafe... So we got to the Hard Rock Cafe: Sydney, and it was really cool (as I would expect). It was about half the size of the Boston one, I'm guessing its because its ...

... a lot of breathtaking scenery. I honestly could've stayed there all day, but we had lots to see. Then, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe, Sydney, and payed WAY TOO MUCH for a burger and fries (chips, AUS). If you want to go to Hard Rock, just take a picture, ...

... 'd expect we saw lots of very scary looking creatures and it put us both off swimming in the sea! Thursday night was our meal at Cafe Sydney which was everything we hoped it would be. We had the best table in the whole place, right out on the balcony ...

... met up with Alan's cousin's son Charles, his wife Hilary and son Edson. They had booked a table at the chic and trendy Cafe Sydney, which looks out over the Harbour and from where we could see Aurora. On Day Two we walked round The Rocks shopping area ...

... this morning - blue sky!! Wasn't forecast either so I'm hoping that it stays like this all day as I have a night ticket for the Sydney Tower - I bought a Night & Day ticket when I first went up months ago - you get 6 months to use the night bit and ...

... fixed - a set of batteries were too large and had jammed inside the camera. We then headed for lunch at the Sydney Museum Cafe before going round the museum itself. The museum is good and they have a great exhibition on the architecture of the Opera ...

... to cram in as much as possible, and for that, you need a good start to the day. We started with a BIG breakfast at the cafe at Wake Up! Sydney, and when I say big, I mean BIG. Neither one of us could finish our food, it was that big. And away we go to ...

... to the Sydney Harbour bridge where we were able to climb the pylon tower with great views of Sydney. Lunch called, so we wandered back and found a small cafe  (practice for Florence!!) and planned our remaining days in Sydney. After lunch we ...

... to stop at each beach and chill out for a bit. Was nice to have a paddle as well to cool ourselves down! Last day in Sydney today - weather is looking very nice outside so not sure what I'm doing in here on the internet! Got a 13 hour overnight coach trip ...

... voo caótico e encontrar uma cidade maravilhosa. Todos os sites recomendavam usar um táxi do aeroporto até o centro de Sydney e foi isso que fizemos. Caramba, o sistema de taxis do aeroporto é incrivelmente organizado e o preço foi exatamente o que ...

... a squeaky clean look to it. There was a large shopping complex, a convention center and at the end, the National Maritime museum. Sydney is a metropolitan city like any other. It has a downtown that looks like it could be any big metropolis. New York, ...

... pretty quick. We tried to sleep as much as we could, but you know how that is in trains and airplanes. We arrived at Sydney Central train station around 8 am, and to our surprise, our hostel was across the street. This being the most convenient place we ...

... as it was designed for coal trains. Went with our 2 new friends Ollie and Ralph who we'd met in the hostel. Then went to Sydney Aquarium. Saw awesome turtles!! Floating over us :-) 15th June - Went to try and fix Emma's camera with our friend Oli who ...

... our free map and began walking towards Circular Quay to the building that most people think of when they think of Australia – the Sydney Opera House. We were surprised at how close it is to the Harbour Bridge, and to us this was a great moment in ...
