5 days in Sydney - a looooooong time ago


Back in Sydney for 2 days before flying to Chile tomorrow, I have finally a decent keyboard and an ok internet access. So time to catch up on some overdue updates on this blog!

End of September I spent 5 days in Sydney. Where to start?! I enjoyed the city especially the many accesses to water. It reminded me several times of Stockholm. Especially the area called the Rocks (oldest part of the town) was a highlight with its old buildings. Unfortunately I did not check out the weather forecast as I assumed that the sky would be blue every day as it had been during my 2 months travelling around the country. Big mistake! I spent the 2 first days, when the sun was shining, with shopping, laundry and other logistics. And when I was ready to hit the beach it was poring with rain!

I nevertheless got to spend a nice afternoon in Manly - where a Jazz festival was taking place on the streets and by the beach. Some great groups and fantastic performances, also by young players were presented.

I also spent some very nice evenings with Nina, Savina and Alexa - girls I had met on the West coast and who also were in Sydney at the same time as myself.
