After flying from Osaka to Seoul I arrived in Sydney (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney more details) at 6:00 am in the morning. Unfortunately my encounter with the folks from customs was a little unpleasant. At first I had to wait for over 30 minutes to get my luggage, then I had to get in line for another 60 minutes to have my luggage inspected. Especially the fact that "other people" got fasttracked without even a look at their luggage not exactly made me happy. Well, what I learned on this trip was not to get too excited about things I can not change, so my bad mood quickly went away.
I took a cab to my friend Ian's neighbourhood Woollahra, a beautiful neighbourhood with lots of old houses and had breakfast at "Zigolinis". Later that day we started a trip around town.
Although the weather sucked .... according to Ian it was "the worst drought in 100 years" .... when I arrived it was raining so hard the streets were flooded two feet deep in certain areas .... we went to "Bondi Beach" and did the "Bondi Beach Walk" and actually got a little sun.
My long lost twin brother Ian ..... since our happy reunion in India (we had been separated at birth) we have been keeping in touch.
Captain Adventure and the Sydney Opera House in the background.
By now you should know my fascination with triangular buildings, of course I could not resist this one. We actually had beers in this pub before we continued our walk.
Sydney Harbor Bridge ..... the Bridge Walk is $ 150 (Australian), so we opted just to walk across it.
The Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House ..... what an amazing combination!
Well, I guess I liked the Opera so much .....
On our ferry trip to Manly .... a sea gull stealing food from the passengers.
I believe this is "Whale Beach" where we actually went for a swim. Everybody stayed close to the beach .... I wonder why?
