Life Back in Sydney

Since I haven't updated this since I've been living back in Sydney, I thought it might be time to. Since arriving from New Zealand in the end of November, I moved into a house with 7 other strangers. Its a townhouse in Pyrmont right behind Darling Harbor. Pretty sweet location because I can walk directly into the city in 10 minutes. I think I slept for about 12 hours my first day back in Sydney from being so exhausted from the New Zealand adventures. I was actually excited to do nothing for a few days, so I did some job hunting got to know my roommates a little better by going to the beach, and heading to a few bars for some nights out in Sydney with them. It’s all good fun, but it was time for me to find a job and start working to fund more adventures that I have planned in my head for the up-coming year.

Went and experienced a few more beaches in the surrounding Sydney area: Coogee, Maroubra, Bondi, Manly, and Bronte. So far Maroubra is my favorite. It reminds me the most of Aussieland. There are some sick waves, lots of local surfers, crystal blue water, and not overly crowded with tourists.

While in Coogee beach one Sunday afternoon some roommates and I decided to end a beautiful day at the beach by attending the Coogee Bay Hotel Beer Festival. It reminded me so much of the beer festival I went to in the South Street Seaport last fall. Get little tastes of all these local beers, my kind of entertainment.

Surprise, Surprise that the little kid came out in me, and I wanted to head to Luna Park which is across the bay from Circular Quay. Its a nice ferry ride because it touches the other side of the harbour bridge which most of the other ferries go past the opera house. I wasn't majorly impressed, just like a mini Coney island, except no dirty beaches in front of it. If I was 5 I probably would have thought it was the coolest place ever. Took some touristy pictures, walked around, and now I can say been there done that. I’d only go back to maybe ride the ferris wheel at night, which could provide some sick pictures of Sydney.

 

All in all living in Sydney is a pretty awesome. Beach next to the city, easy transportation, and fun times all around.
