Sydney


Sydney at nightfall.Sydney at nightfall.Sydney at nightfall.

When all the weird and wonderful people come out to play...
There's loads to do in Sydney....

But it's at night, when it really comes alive.....

A pretty amazing place, with all the bright city lights.
You just have to walk along the streets to take in the sights.
Some pleasant and some down right weird.

It has girlie bars and strip clubs lining the streets.
With hookers who are well past their sell by date, standing on street corners.
It's busy 24 hours a day, what with the bars and clubs being open all night.

It was nothing to look out of the windows at 5am, to see drunks staggering over to the next bar.

It amazes us that we can now sit in cafes without blinking an eye, whilst seated with hookers and "ladies" with hands the size of shovels.

What do they say "Travel broadens the mind"!

It certainly has in our case...
