We're having a marvelous time in Sydney. So far we have visited Bondi and Manly beaches, taken a guided bike tour around the city (12 miles! A photo is on the right ---->), seen the Australian ballet at the Sydney Opera House, saw a documentary at the world's largest IMAX theatre, had a drink at the oldest pub in OZ, taken a ferry all around the harbor and we even spotted a few celebrities at the Australian premiere of the movie, "Australia," which happened to be down the street from our hostel.
Australia has decided to hide the sun from us, but fortunately it is still quite warm. There is so much to do and see in this city- we have been busy! A few highlights I recommend would be: The Rocks (the oldest part of Australian culture-this is where the convicts were originally sent), Harbor Bridge, Darling Harbor, Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park, Sydney Botanical Gardens, Circular Quay, Luna Park and the Sky Tower. Bondi and Manly are also musts. The local Blue Mountains are also quite spectacular and the caves there are said to be unique as well.
Tomorrow we are off to Bangkok, so we will bid adieu to Oz for now. We have sincerely enjoyed our time here and hope to be back sometime not in the too distant future.
