first sydney tour

I wrote this post last Sunday, but my internet connection went down for a few days. It seems to be back on, but it may not last. So anyway, below is the original post, and my first pictures from Sydney :)!

Now it was time to see Sydney from the other side of the bay. I don’t know what the right words would be to describe what I’ve experienced today. I’ve simply been blown away. After spending three years in ugly Brest,FR, having a first tour of Sydney, knowing I am actually going to live there for six months, well, I literally had to sit on the Opera House stairs to breathe.

And I didn’t just have a look at the Opera House, I walked down Circular Quay, I went to see where I was going to work, walked in the CBD, had a burger in Pitts Street, went to the Queen Victoria Building, walked across the Royal Botanic Gardens, had a look at where Thales was - my best friend actually works there, how cool is that ? - then walked in Potts Point, dreaming of finding an apartment there, and then back to the city, Hyde Park, St Marys Cathedral - 72 days till the pope my best friend arrives - and back to Circular Quay to get a bus down to Maroubra, where I’m currently staying.Yes, my legs do hurt, but I don’t care, it sure had been a while since I’d felt so good…

    oh my.
    quel ciel bleu, quelles jolies photos, il manque juste ton museau… de frog.
    Je reçois les SMS mais les miens ne passent pas… alors je me jette sur ces pages goulument.
    you sound happy and that makes ME happy.
    love you grand comme ça.

    YO!!! Sydney really looks faaaabulous! I’m so happy that you’re having such a good time on your first tour of the city. Now my constant complaint about your photos - I want to see more PEOPLE in your pictures. A town is not just the buildings!
