02.09.09 Sydney


So we are a bit late on this but we did have an awesome time in Sydney! We were straight into it when we arrived - off the plane (into the cold..) to meet Charlies Australian family and then straight to the Opera House to watch the Mikado ( a play which scarred me at Primary school but I feel I am over it now!) It was a fantastic introduction ( and re intro) to Sydney.

Could the rest of the week match it? With Charlie as my personal tour guide how could it not...We went to Palm beach (Home and away) which was beautiful, I can instantly see the attraction of living in Australia. We were excited to see quite a large snake on a rock there and hurried to the internet to see how poisonous it was - it was a common green snake or something equally boring sounding - how disappointing!
In the city we visited the architectural and the art, the entertainment of Kings Cross and the drinking establishments, meeting up with friends of Charlies from the past. Our first drink was at Summit bar, a revolving bar on top of a tower - great views of what we would visit over the next few days.

And what made the whole week was how welcoming the family were.
