Since the last blog I have been having a busy but interesting time in the great cosmopolitan city of Sydney. So much to do that a week is not enough time, the Sydney Tower, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Aquarium, the Zoo, the Walk from Bondi to Coogee, the ferry to Manly, the walk around the Opera House and Sydney harbour Bridge, exploring the Rocks and the walks around the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Harbour Speed Boat Trip and that's not even mentioning the shops and numerous other museums and art galleries!! And I nearly forgot the day visit to the Blue Mountains yesterday which was awesome!!
But the real plus of the week has been seeing Jan and Katie for the first time in over three months!! They have slowed me down though, I am so used to going through cities at a rate of knots with OzBus that they have been left puffing behind me as I rush to do all the sights. On the down side the OzBus’ers have slowly been saying goodbye over the last week and a half. Some have gone west whilst others have gone south and some like me north. Some have also gone to New Zealand to do the grand tour there for a further 18 or 27 days. Lucky things.
Today (27th Aug) I made it to Cairns in Queensland whilst Jan and Katie take a slower pace for three nights in Brisbane. I have a day’s snorkelling planned for tomorrow and a trip to the Rainforest for Friday. The Aboriginal Art is also something I want to see more of in this area!
I have been trying to slow down since coming off the OzBus but seem to want to keep on going!! How will I cope with the same house and bed every night? The last week has been really strange, one bed and one backpackers lodge!
I hope soon to post some of my photos of the trip so keep on watching!
Best wishes from down here to all up there!
