Syndey: A night at the Opera: Day 1

Hello all,

Unfortunately with the Internet situation pictures are impossible to upload right now. Maybe over the next few weeks I can do a dump onto flickr or facebook. For now you have my words, trusting eh?

Nathan and I are settled into Sydney for one night, traveling to Thredbo early Thursday morning and then to the coast for a trip back to Sydney. More details to follow with that excursion. But I know what you are curious about, the title of the blog.

Landing in Sydney was a beautiful experience, three hours before landing I actually saw the sun rise over the curvature of the Earth. This is one of the more beautiful things I have ever seen. We landed in rainy weather, did the customs "thing", harmless, and left the airport to head to the hotel. Deb, you were right, the Great Southern Hotel of Sydney amazing. One of the coolest experience throughout the day was cruising on a hour long ferry around the harbor. Most amazing sights I have ever seen. After a long rainy day in Sydney, changing buses and trains, visiting local shops and just people watching, we were hungry for dinner, visiting what locals call a famous Japanese noodle shop. The shop was titled "Wagamama", meaning naughty child. Pretty awesome.

After that naughty adventure (horrible joke on the name, don't be wierd), Nathan and I went walking toward the Sydney Opera House. La Boheme was amazing, great cast and crew. It was also really cool to hang out with the Sydney opera crowd. So down to earth compared to American "Opera" crowds.

Anyway, time running low.

Have a wonder day in the US. The future is promising from our standpoint.

Regards,

Shane
