On Sunday, Monty & I took a train South to Sydney. It was a 2 hour ride (A$ 10.00/rd trip) and very enjoyable. We even met a woman from New Jersey that is here visiting her family. Once in Sydney (Central Station), we jumped on to a hop & ride bus that took us all around the City. We rode one full time (25 stops) without getting off (it was one of those double-decker red buses with no top) and then back around to Quay Circle to take pictures of the Bridge and Opera House. What an exciting, clean & friendly city, Sydney is! Monty & I both had our picture taken with Aborigine men at the Quay.
We took the train back to WW in the evening but our plans are to go back to & spend a few days. I scored tickets for a Gospel Revival concert at the Sidney Opera House at the end of April. Aaron Neville (yes, THE Aaron Neville) is performing with the Blind Alabama Brothers. So we are planning to walk the bridge and do a Pub crawl thus making it a 4 day weekend blowout. While walking through an area known as The Rocks, yours truly stumbled upon a Coach Store. Monty couldn’t believe I could find Coach within a matter of hours upon arrivingJ.
On the train ride back to WW we chatted with 2 American college girls (Iowa & NOLA) & their roommates from Austria & Sweden. They are on an exchange program for 6 month and attending the university in New Castle. They were all extremely fun & interesting. I want to be just like them when I grow up!!!!!!!!!
