We woke up on our Air Canada flight back to Sydney when the sun started coming up.  We were only a couple of hours from landing and we were getting excited to see our family!  We had some really rude people sitting behind us who enjoyed pushing our chairs upright when they felt like it ev…

This was a wonderful, memorable day. It began quietly. In downtown Sydney is a haven of peace - the Chinese Friendship Garden, (see http://www.chinesegarden.com.au/about.cfm ). It's between Chinatown and Darling Harbour. On the way there we passed local guys doing their tai che. The Gardens a…

Met up with Matt and Baz and Caroline and Dale (Van Mildert girls), too many stories to tell, also most of my memories are a little hazy. Was just quite simply AWESOME!

4 week trip to Australia 15 dec tm 11 jan 08.

Crazy busy day exchanging money, buying equipment for Thailand, buying toiletries for the next leg etc. Added to which I had to see Anna and Annika, Swedish friends I met in New Zealand, in Fremantle, Cedric, my road trip Frenchman, Neil, my legendary saviour and landlord, and Sancha, who got too d…

On Sunday we woke up at a decent hour so we could pack and get the room all ready for leaving. Check out was at 10am but our flight wasn't until 3:30pm, so we left our bags at the hotel and did some last minute sightseeing in the area. We walked thru Chinatown again and went to the Paddy Markets. I…

Got called for work and 14 hours later, I arrived in Sydney.  For a change, the weather is warmer compared to Abu Dhabi.  The Mafia are all heading out for a late dinner since we've been deprived of good food (as per my taste buds) in the last 14-hours .. I love the hotel that we are stay…

Well, of course I left everything until the last minute and got no sleep before rushing off to the airport, speeding the whole way (I don't think I'd have it any other way). I checked in with few hassles, and my dad walked me to the security gate before waving goodbye like a normal person (no …

What an amazing city. If it was not so far off the beaten track I would try and move here. The people are beyond friendly, healthy, young and beautiful. It is like living in New York City with southern California beaches. There is a very carefree and fun air to the city. If you have the chance to visit, it is a must.
