To: Technology RE: DIE DIE DIE

---

So last night i finally got round to going up the Sydney Tower. To be honest it hasn't got anything on the Sky Tower in Auckland, so it was a bit of a let down. You can only see a tiny bit of the opera house. You can see the bridge and things, but it was a bit underwhelming overall. The lift took about 3-4 minutes, compared to about 30 seconds in the auckland tower. OzTrek (moving-seat-simulation-amajig) was pretty cool, see in and around Australia.


So today i went to the Opera house. I walked from my hostel to the site, which took about 30 minutes ish. Good to get a view of the city on the way. Took some shots of the outside, including some of the harbour and the bridge. GOt onto a guided tour, took 2 photos of the inside and then the camera decides that now is a good time to go completely blank and erase all the photos i took. Great. I'm frantically trying to remember if there were any other important photos on there, and i think i've been lucky. Had a couple of photos from out the window at auckland hostel, but all the sky tower photos were on another card. I lost ALL the photos i took from Sydney tower, so you'll have to make do with an exterior shot. I had plenty of time to spare so i went round the opera house again (outside i mean, inside they didn't allow photos on any of the interesting bits) and re-took all the shots.

Finally today i walked up to the bridge. Got a couple of good pics of the opera house from the side with no obstructions, nice find i thought. Then the camera battery died. And so did the spare. I charged them up this morning honest, guess i'm too trigger happy. Anywho, i willed one of them back to life for a few final pictures up the underside of the bridge. Then i bought an ice cream and walked back to the hostel.

Thats all for now, i'm gonna go try and sort out a trip down to Melbourne, and somewhere to stay for a few nights. I can try and find somewhere to stay, or decide to head somewhere else. That's the plan anyway.

Long post, sorry.

Bye!

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Too bad that your camera keeps dying but the pictures that you have posted are great. Hope you find a job and apartment soon. Weather looks fantastic for you to do your sightseeing in. It is fun reading your journal. Keep having fun. Sheila
