Yes, we are in Australia and it is cold. Sydney to be somewhat precise :). All kidding aside, I finally made good on my promise to visit my friend Regina, although not in Micronesia as originally intended. We were also lucky enough to be able to stay with her & her boyfriend, Craig at his home in a Sydney suburb. It was great. Normal bed, actually super comfy, normal litterbox with hot water showers, laundry, normal kitchen and kick ass espresso maker for morning coffee! It was a treat, but we ended up staying a bit longer than intended.
Sydney is a very clean, very neat city. I really enjoyed walking around it and visiting some of the sites. We also ventured out to some of the surrounding areas and famous beach communities – Bondi Beach, Manly, Watson’s Bay, etc. Craig and G took us for a drive in the Royal National Park. It was great to get to see a large area in a short amount of time. In boat years, the same drive would have taken us several days. Besides it was way too cold to get into the water and (for me, attempt to) surf.
Brian had a birthday while we were here and I took him to a NRL game at the huge ANZ stadium in Olympic park. The Rabbitohs vs. the Eels – it was a blast. The only bummer was both Craig and G had to work (and Regina had school too), so we didn’t get much time with them. We did however get to go out to dinner which was a blast.
Game On!
