Let the adventures begin!

Sydney, October 2006.. I actually made it. I got off my fat bum and did something rather than just talking about it!!!

I spent the first month just finding my feet and exploring the city and seeing all the famous bits like the Opera House, caught the ferry over to Manly, swam at Bondi, Coogie and a couple of the northern beaches. I got to see U2 and Kanye West play at Telstra Stadium which was really good. I was also subjected to watching an A-League game between Sydney FC and Perth Glory. Oh dear, I can only assume that the A stands for arse because it was terrible, and being a saints fan that is saying something!! Just before the Ashes started I also got to meet David Boon aka Boony, the legendary aussie cricketer.

The highlight of my first few weeks out here though has to be the Habour Bridge Walk which I did with Dave, a friend from my swimming days, and his wife Jess who were luckily passing through Sydney on his way from New Zealand to India. Both me and Dave were absolutely petrified of heights but we managed to do it without messing ourselves (Judging by the photos it was probably a close call with me though!!).
