Sydney

We spent two weeks in Sydney in a flat that had views of The Bridge and Opera House! We used the ferry a lot and you could leave the flat to catch it when you saw it start across the bay from the previous stop. Sydney is very cool, we managed to see a performance of the Messiah and see Richard Branson on Bondi Beach ( you got the juxtapostion?). He arrived by helicopter, dropping from the sky. Whilst Melbourne is cool, Sydney is very cool. We visited the Hunter Valley on an organised trip, this meant the usual driver could taste 29 different wines including all known grape varieties and combinations grown and blended in the valley.
