Sydney Day 2

Yeah so here I am in Sydney, sweating away in an internet cafe, drinking a hot coffee when I should be sucking on ice cubes. Flight over was all good, couldn't sleep and the 'wonderful' personal computer system in the back of the seats was, of course, broken. Cabbed to Grace's mate's place in Bondi - man, taxis in Sydney are WAY cheaper than in Wellington. It's a bit odd though, they obviously haven't had EFTPOS here for long and the minimum spend in a lot of shops is $10-12 which I find quite weird.

There are lots of posers. We walked along the coast from Bondi to Coogee and there are just tanned muscly people everywhere showing off. There are even 'exercise points' along the pathway where people can do pull-ups and stomach crunches for us all to see their manly manliness. A bit different. Nice to have a swim at Gordon's Bay to cool off though, and the walk is actually very nice.

We went to Grace's old workplace the Tea Room. Man it's nice. We had bubbly and high-tea and the service was mint and the building it's in, the Queen Victoria Building, is splendid. Real flash.

Gotta sort a cellphone and ATM card today, then maybe hit the Aquarium. And probably shower 3 more times. I'm sweating like a fiddler.
