Sydney so far.....

Well, I'm rolling into my third week in Sydney. Time is flying but it also feels a lot has happened.

The first two weeks was about getting to grips with the place. A lot of walking, a lot of sunbathing. Having time to work out and eat healthy too! You might think why? You're on holiday!! It's not like that here. It is soooo easy to be healthier and fitter. You stand out if you don't. That's true to Sydney so it could be different at other places.

The first day I arrived at Sydney was wet. Quite funny really as I had left a very wet Heathrow. The big difference though was the temperature and humidity. You really don't mind if it rains here, it's actually quite refreshing and many people don't bother using an umbrella, except me thought! Lol















Everything seems to be in walking distance here. A good thing really as the transport system is a bit behind London standards. Never thought I would hear myself say that. It is a good system never the less and has some stunning views as is goes over Sydney Harbour Bridge seeing The Opera House and the city as you enter the central area. The city is very clean and very well planned. I cannot believe the amount of good shops they have and in abundance. The Australian staff are very friendly in the shops but are a little indifferent in the restaurants. I've been told this is down to being paid well and not working for tips. No incentive to go that extra mile!! Lol

Beaches are excellent and quite unique here. I've only visited two, Bondi and Coogee. I have a few to visit before my trip ends. The beaches are surrounded by good facilities. Washing and hydration free and easily accessible. The waves are crazy at times and very spectacular. Many suffers are here and it looks very cool!!

So far, I have taken limited photos in terms of variation but this will change as I get to know where everything is. This week will definitely be the one that has more variation.

Clubs and pubs I have no idea yet but again this will change soon.

So there we have it. The first few weeks in a nuts shell. Many activities planned including The Gold Coast so watch this space. This place has character, the weather is amazing. It is a very addictive city!! Let's see where this adventure goes next ; )
