8/19 Sydney to Bid Me Farewell (NSW, Australia)

1 night bus ride later, I am in Sydney at the butt crack of dawn. The first thing I am told is a lie. The second thing I notice is that I am amongst lots and lots of Chinese people.
 
This makes me feel like i've arrived in HK earlier than planned!








now i know why




A very cool memorial









you're going the wrong way











 completely breathtaking


 let's see it again



I love this show


 have i died and gone to Paris?
La Duree taught me it is possible to share 1 macaroon between 3 people and have it be one of your best memories in life


 My first sneak peek at the Opera House!

 The Rocks - it does rock








 The Harbor Bridge


 sorry my head is in the way








 i love street art and performances


 people climbing the bridge

 up close!

 
 Mer-man!


 just a regular pen and an extraordinary talent

 this artist is homeless


  
Back to Chinatown for dinner








And now... the Blue Mountains. Something called me to go out on this tour - I've learned not to ignore things like that, so here we go!
 
 from the Olympics in 2000

 i did pet it, it was so furry and cute

 Rotary really is everywhere!




 nice hat


 beautiful dog!

 what an expanse..... of nothingness and total beauty

Another total beauty :P
getting Vicks Vaporub straight from the source - Eucalyptus leaves

Pillow lava!



 this man... ROCKS. 
Thanks for letting me sit in front with you :)



 this used to be a sea bed! see the ripples??

 water before it falls


 wobbly knees!




 High five!

 lunchtime!



 The Three Sisters and their Dad :D

 The Three Sisters
( YAY middle one! )


The Dad!




 Sun is going down... better rush to catch the last ride up!

 a whopping 52 degrees!

 the old cart

 the new one

 Sydney you were great

 and you sure are beautiful

 you supply good pizza

 and attract good people :)

 On the way to the Royal National Park!


 Serene



 let's be friends

Where it all began.

Where James Cook landed is where I take off. Australia: Thank you for the hard times and the great times. It's been one hell of a journey. At first I did not like you, but then you started to grow on me. Next time I come back I will need to be working here because the cost of everything (except spiders, sharks, snakes, jellyfish...) is too high! So I will pad up my wallet .. until we meet again. XOXO
