Sydney so far

I'm rapidly falling behind on photo uploading and blogging. Maybe in the next couple of days I'll have more than a few minutes of downtime. Today Paul and I hit Circular Quay and the Opera House in the morning, made a brief foray through the CBD past the St. Patricks Day revelry in Hyde Park, and wound up the afternoon and early evening at Bondi Beach and Bronte Beach - cliff walking and swimming in rock pools. We also got to explore our neighborhood in North Sydney for the first time late this evening, once we made our way back via public transport. (We just need to add the monorail to our current train, bus, cab, and water taxi p-trans pedigree here.) We then closed down Thai Riffic. Not bad for a Sunday's work.

View from our hotel room. From! Our! Hotel! Room! You can actually see a lot more to the right as well, including the freakin' Sydney Opera House. I find it hard to go to sleep at night because I just want to gaze out the windows.
