The Land of Oz

I have arrived in Australia! Today, I am embarking on my second day of exploration around Sydney. It is a large city, but beautiful and cosmopolitan. It is rather warm here; around 90F yesterday, I believe. Our living accommodations are a little crowded (I am in a triple room), but I certainly cannot complain. This is going to be a completely different experience from New Zealand, I can tell. There is a lot going on and this city never sleeps. Yesterday, we walked out to Paddington (a suburb) to go to a market and explore their Centennial Park. In the afternoon, we walked to the harbor to see the bridge, opera house, and Circular Quay. It was gorgeous! Numerous weddings going on, and people out the wazoo. Sydney has more people than all of New Zealand, ftr. Now, armed with map in hand and water bottle in tow, I head out again into the Land Down Under.

Cheers,

Tomas
