This morning i was woken up at around 8 am by Whitey saying Happy Birthday louder and louder at me as he was so excited. I woke up to a bed filled with balloons and Happy Birthday banners all around the flat. It was special. The guys then gave me their presents which i had resisted opening earlier,…

More blogs of different places i've been! 2 months down, 2 to go!

Sydney is a manageable city. It's completely city-like:  cars, tall buildings, public transportation, etc. -- but much calmer and more manageable than larger cities of my acquaintance. Calmer, quieter.  Also very photogenic. You can't hardly stop yourself! We are living like Mormons --…

Seemed to be visiting Sydney a lot recently (because of work). I've always wanted to climb the Harbour Bridge after my 4rd attempt, I wasn't able to climb it. But I got close once, it's just that the office was close =(

I caught the train back into Circular Quay as I was meeting Virginia (Traveller_Gin) at a restaurant in the Rocks for dinner before going to see Paco Pena. As I arrived early, I took a stroll around Circular Quay to see if I could get a photo or two in the twilight. I don’t have the greatest …

I heart surfing....It is so awesome there are just no words. The rest of my time in Sydney was fantastic!  Sydney is such a beautiful city.  So much to see and do!  I spent my last day climbing the /sydney harbor bridge and is was fantastic.  I'm so glad Monica recommended it. …

...were spent living and working in Sydney, and for me, falling in love with the city. I loved that there were kiosks on lots of the street corners, selling newspapers, magazines, drinks and fresh fruit, the atmosphere in the city was great, everyone was so friendly and we were getting lots of work…

Not a great deal to report here. The usual deadly 2 hours in an airport, but the 3 hour journey seemed a doddle compared to recent ones. Arrived at Cairns airport to blistering sun and the coach transfer to Port Douglas ready and waiting. One hour later, I was deposited at the Bay Villas apartmen…

Australia, oficialmente Mancomunidad de Australia (en inglés: Commonwealth of Australia), es una nación ubicada en el hemisferio sur, que ocupa toda la parte continental de Oceanía, el continente más pequeño del mundo, además de varias islas en los océanos Pacífico, Índico y Antártico. Lo…

I'd been in Railway Square YHA for over a week at this point and I'd been going more and more insane with each passing day. I'd gone to Travellers Xpress, an agency especially for Working Holiday Makers (particularly the British), helping them find office jobs during their stay. I filled in the for…

Well its the Thursday before easter, so i think the whole of Sydney was going out, wasnt feeling so good so was going to have a quiet one, but one of the lads in the hostel pursuaded me that was a rubbish idea and that I should come out with him and his friends, so i did, and what a funny nigh…

Alana, (lani15) had a birthday on Aug 15th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo of …

A couple years ago I took a bus from London (Ontario, Canada) to New York (USA). The bus ride was 14 hours in total. It was the worst bus ride ever! Someone on the bus took off his shoes and in no time the whole bus had this horrible feet smell. The smell was so bad that it woke me up. The bus driv…

As I write this last entry for my time in Sydney (Friday 10th August) I feel quite tired and lethargic after a night out last night that incorporated a few bars around Circular Quay and then finally George Street!! It was a unique night because all of us as a group went out (which hasn't happened …

Today we were off to the main zoo in Sydney.  The name escapes me so I'l update the blog later with details.  The zoo was a blast.  We got a ferry pass combined with the zoo ticket so we were able to go straight from the ferry, to a sky ride up the top of the zoo (which is situated…
