A Week in Sydney

Sydney, Australia has treated us very well. We have been staying by the Manly area, on the northeast shore of Sydney, at Nick's mate Guy's house. During our time here we have gone to some Manly beaches, a Manly bar, a Manly restaurant, and have rode a Manly ferry.The Sydney Opera House was everything I had expected and then some. Its located in a central location by the harbour so it was one of the first things we saw and we also passed daily.
The view from the ferry as we approached the ferry terminal. The opera house shown next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Getting close to the opera house. It wasn't as white as I'd expected, more of an off white. It basically looked like it was covered in bathroom tiles.
We took a few days to relax at Manly beach and get a good base tan going before Thailand.

On the last day I witnessed an old fashioned form of Aussie punishment.
Sorry I couldn't chat for longer. This week has gone by too fast, I wish we had more time in Australia, but alas, our time is up. Off to the motherland, Thailand. Until then, Godspeed.
