We finally got to Sydney after a speedy (!) 12 and half hour flight from Dubai. Watched 6 movies on the plane's in seat entertainment. Brian listened to CDs - something he never does. Arrived tired at 07:30 having lost a day but very exited. Was cloudy but warm so didn't care! Got to the hotel (Meriton Kent St) around 13:30 (54th floor room 5402B - fab!) unpacked and promptly went to bed and slept for the rest of the afternoon and evening!... read more

Sydney je mesto, ki ga ne mores doziveti v dveh dneh, ampak v tem casu dobis le bezen vtis. Upam, da se bom lahko v casu bivanja v Avstraliji se vrnila in nadaljevala z okusanjem tega Avstralskega bisera. Sydney, ki je glavno mesto zvezne drzave Novi juzni Wales je najstarejse mesto v Avstraliji, ustanovljeno 1788 kot kazenska kolonija. Mestno jedro steje okoli 170.000 prebivalcev, z okolico pa 4 milijone. Z vidika turista je Center prijazen in dosegljiv. Iz Sussax St. smo pesacile v Darling Harbour. To je cetrt kjer je Sydney Exhibition Centre in so Chinese Gardens, ki so bili cilj nase poti. Po nemirni noci, ko sem zaradi mestnega hrupa slabo spala, sem si v Kitajskih vrtovih spocila oci in duso. Ceprav nedalec stran avtomobili drvijo po Harbour St., so vrtovi v kotanji, do katerih ... read more

Just a quick update on what's happening on this side of the world. I haven't been up to much the last few weeks except working and chilling on my days off. Working at French Connection is going really well. I have about 30 hours a week and it can be a bit quiet sometimes which can drag, but generally it is a busy store and all the staff are lovely. It was our Christmas party on Saturday, the 5th Dec, at a bar on George Street, Bar 333, and it was a really good night. There was an open bar, so we all had a few drinks and a dance until about 1am...so glad I didn't have to work the next day! Sydney itself is really good. It is a very easy going city and it ... read more

I have been here exactly 2 weeks now and I am pretty much sorted and settled. I moved into a gorgeous apartment last Wednesday overlooking the Chinese gardens and just 2 minutes walk to Darling Harbour. There are 8 people living there which is a bit cramped, but we are all in and out at different times so it isn't too bad. There are 2 bedrooms, one guys and one girls, and 2 bathrooms thankfully. The lounge is quite big and there is a huge balcony which we use as the lounge as it is getting into summer here now so it is warm enough to stay outside quite late. There is also a rooftop pool, gym, and sauna, and the block itself is really nice, so it has worked out well. On the job front, ... read more

Así pase el ultimo fin de semana en Sydney, prácticamente despidiéndome de mis amigos del Original. Ese día fuimos Eva y yo a ver a Fabien a su trabajo y luego nos fuimos los dos a despedirnos de la Opera House de Sydney dando un paseo por Oxford Street y la catedral y volviendo por mi rincón favorito del jardín botánico desde donde se ve perfectamente toda la ciudad en panorámica.. Esa noche me fui al servicio del hotel y cogí el ipod en vez de las llaves a las 4 am de la mañana, lo peor es que la recepción no habría hasta las 7 de la mañana... pero cuando crees que eso es lo peor, me acuerdo de que venían a buscarme a las 6 de la mañana para llevarme al aeropuerto. Menos mal ... read more

Darling harbour is a beautiful place to hang out with the amazing views of the Sydney Skyline, beautiful harbour and amazing food, clubs and bars. You can chill out in the massive park on a hot sunny and just relax, read, chill out with friends. The best thing about this place is "ITS FREE", not to mention the special events held there every year, A great place for the NYE, Australia day. ... read more

How ya going guys? Well it’s been a while I know, so this is just a bit of a update as to what has been happening since we left South America. So since Iguazu Falls and it has been all go go go. We went back to Buenos Aires, which was great craic altogether this time round. Different hostel and different people. We left for Oz on 29th as we already had the flight booked, stupidly believing Visa First that we would have a visa by then. The flight over was good with quantas, I drank a little too much though in an effort to calm my nerves, ended up spilling a drink on the woman next to me, then took some super strong sleepers and went a little crazy before falling asleep half hanging out ... read more
