We're back in Sydney
And somehow this
other capital of Australia doesn't really speak to us as much as Melbourne did. Sure there is the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, The Rocks and Darling Harbour, plus
uber-cool designer-chic restaurants and cafes all over the place, but the soul of the city is somehow missing. Its hard to explain. We felt it in little Arrowtown (NZ), in Kobe and in San Francisco. But in Sydney, all we want to do is to shop shop shop =))
Maybe we're just tired. And perhaps if you give us another week in this city, we'll grow to know it and love it. Not that we hate it now or anything.
I suspect the weather plays a big part too. Its nearly 31 degrees in the day and about 25 degrees at night. Blardy Lion City temperatures but without the sticky affliction of humidity. And its almost always overcast. Well I suppose it helps us acclimatise before our return home in a couple of days.
If we can wake up tommorrow, we'll take a slow jog to Hyde Park. If we can get tickets to climb the Bridge, we'll do it. If we find something that tickles our artsy-fartsy bones, we'll catch it at the Opera House. Otherwise, it'll just be a dozen freshly shucked Tasmanian Oysters by the water after doing battle at the shops.
And oh yah, here's the only picture I snapped today. Didn't have the mood and it shows =))
