How was your trip?

Lots of people have been asking me so here is a recap...

We took a short 13 hour plane ride:

1 sleeping pill

2 meals

3 movies

4 magazines

5 drinks

6 hours of sleep

7 bathroom trips later

we got here:

We stayed two nights in Sydney.

The first day we chilled out and stayed local.

Eating, drinking, and shopping nearby.

We got drinks in Darling Harbour that night at a place called, Homebar. This place had the best ambience! The wicker chairs were so chill and comfy. We sat just outside the bar with mellow tunes in the background and the harbor lights glistening on the dark night water.

It was here Jenee meet her first Australian critters...

Cockroaches!

The next day we took a run from Darling Harbour where our hotel was through the botonical gardens where we encountered fruit bats in the trees.

We continued our run out around the Sydney Oprah House...

around to Circle Quay where there is a "Cahill Walk"

down to the Sydney Harbour Bridge

then to breakfast at

Pancake on the Rocks.

Mmmm... Pancakes

with strawberries and fresh cream plus

mushroom crepes with pesto sauce.

I order a coffee with milk they call, "flat white."

If you're a straight black kind of girl you'd get a "long black."

If you're really complicated (ahem, Jenee), you'd order a half-caff-skinny-latte.

Delicious!

After breakfast, we bought a day tripper pass and after cleaning up at the hotel jumped on a

Ferry to Manley Bay for lunch.

Then back to Sydney where we caught a bus with this sign on it.

Our bus ride took us to Bondi Beach for the afternoon.

It was here we were sand blasted from high winds and

retired inside for some sangrias with a view.

After an exhausting two days in Sydney, I was happy to be going to Caba... it felt as though I was returning home. I was looking forward to someone else figuring our way around, mum's homecooking and dad's stories. Stay tuned for our adventures on the gold coast tomorrow.
