Sydney 1

This is a proof that I am in Sydney. Not for much longer but as it's a pretty amaying city I thought I should share this with you guys. Taking this picture in front of the Opera House was actually not easy as I held the camera myself, taking about 5 pictures until one showed my head AND the opera... Of course Sydney has much more to offer than Harbour Bridge and Opera, but somehow I reckon they are some of those 'must take a picture of with yourself in it' places...


One thing I really like about Sydney is that it is so green and there is an abundance of water. This is the view one gets when coming down the zoo (which is beautifully set on a peninsula overlooking the city). Many people (who can afford it) have a boat. I wonder how many of those can take it to get to work... Anyway, this water oriented lifestyle impressed me a lot - it is one of the reason why some people call it the most beautiful cities in the world (of course many people call their city the best in the world but I think that in this case they have a point!)


This place is called 'The Gap'. It's close to the entrance of the harbour and apparently some ships mistook it for that and crashed. Pretty dramatic! You've got an amazing view from there and sometimes you can even spot whales swimming around in the Pacific. I saw one - and to be honest - it was less spectacular than I imagined it. Some water, a fin ... But maybe it's cooler if you're close than I was.


Australians might not be too impressed by their wildlife but I like it. Everything's so different to Europe. This guy was sitting in a tree somewhere in town. Much nicer to luck at than a city pigeon, isn't he?


I didn't find these fellas on the street, unfortunately. I took this one in the zoo, but they are still pretty cute.
