After a long Qantas flight (22 hours+) from New York we've arrived in our new home in Sydney. Just in time for New Year's we braved a bit of jet lag to stay up late and watch some of the biggest celebrations to ring in the New Year. Luckily it was quite warm out and a beautifully sunny day. We headed to the famous old section of Sydney called The Rocks where we scored a prime location to watch the big show. To our right the Opera House and to our left the Harbor Bridge which was spitting fire like a angry dragon.
The boats in the harbor were full of lights and New Year's greetings. The 94MM yacht next to us wasn't too shabby either. We had a luxurious dinner of Chicken Kababs & fish and chips. After the show we followed the 1.5 million crowd through the streets back to the city center on our way home.
The rest of our time we've explored the city. First to Coogee & Bondi Beaches to check out the eastern side of town. There was a beautiful hike between the two and this helped us build up our tanning situation. Next day we took the ferry to Manley where we again explored this beach with a different vibe. More surfers and lots of sand.
Today we explored more neighborhoods more inland called Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Wooloolooolooolroo (or something like that). Surry Hills was full of nice cafes and tree lines streets. Darlinghurst was nice but small, actually we harldly saw it. Wooloooloororoo was near King's Cross which, like in London, sucks due to hookers, backpackers and dried beer smell.
More to come next week! Take care :)
