Happy New Year!

G'Day from Down Under!

I arrived safe and sound in Sydney, celebrated the New Year long before anyone reading this. I left San Francisco on 12/29 at 10pm - my flight arrived 12/31 at 8am. I never saw 12/30 this year!

Shortly after touchdown...
...I took a stroll through Central Sydney. My pad is near China Town, at the southern part of Central Sydney. It has some amazing 270-degree views of the city! I walked up to Darling Harbour, had a pie for lunch (delicious), then headed up to the Circular Quay (pronounced "Key") to see the Opera House. Then I hopped on a ferry back to Darling Harbour and rested up for the evening.

Celebrated the New Year...
...at a co-worker's apartment in Darlinghurst for a great view of the fireworks. The display was fantastic! A great way to bring in the New Year! Was pretty wired after my nap so used the city's energy to keep me going until about 6am.

Spent the 1st of the Year...
...at Bondi Beach with other fellow sun worshippers. It was then that I realized, Australians are hot.

Cheers,

Bondi Beach is the most famous, but Coogee Beach, wich is a few kilometres from Bondi, is alot nicer. (I lived near Coogee when I lived in Sydney). There is a nice beach walk between the two beaches as well, I recomend that. Happy New Year!
