Sydney: Deja Vu + Outro

18 March - 21 March

Well, I was supposed to get picked up by the Oz bus on 19 March which was two days later than what i wanted because i wanted to spend a few days in Sydney before getting back on the plane and crossing the huge pond between here and California. So i got a Greyhound Australia ticket for $26 and left and told Oz they did not need to worry about picking me up and that my trip with them was complete.

As soon as i got into Sydney [now the 4th time arriving and no wonder why it feels like home], i started thinking about all the things i didn't get a chance to do before and what i could cram into the next 4 days. Then i had to give myself a little mental slap. I have done so much since i have been here and really have not taken a proper relaxing vacation. So my plans are to do a few things as i feel they work into my relaxation schedule. My utmost concern is to spend some time on the beach as soon as we get good weather as it seems to be overcast a lot of the time that i've been here.


Manly Beach: supposedly named because the European explorer saw a nude Aborigine stading on the beach and thought he appeared "manly". Let your imaginations run wild.







This is a public art display on Circular Quay opposite the Sydney Opera House which is sponsored by Unicef. There is a painted bear to represent every country of the United Nations. Australia actually has several bears. Here are pictures of an Aussie bear and a USA bear. Guess which is which.







And my last view of the Sydney Opera House. bye bye
