Sydney (Part 2)

Day 1: Early morning flight to get me from Nadi back to Sydney. I wasn´t able to get a direct flight from Fiji to anywhere in South America so that´s why I ended up having to go back to Oz for a day. Being a huge fan of the place (especially Sydney) I wasn´t too disappointed. I can think of worse places to spend the day.

I got back into Sydney around lunchtime and my plan was to head to Manly Beach for the afternoon, having done pretty much everything else the last time I was here. However, there wasn´t as much of the day left as I would have liked and it wasn´t really beach weather, so I decided to just hang around the city.

Unsurprisingly, I headed down to the Harbour once more for another look at the Bridge and the Opera House. I´m not sure when my next visit to Australia will be so I thought I´d go check it out again as it´s so pleasing on the eye. The rest of the afternoon was spent just wondering around the city really.

That evening, having booked into the same hostel I´d stayed in previously, I bumped into Rick (US) who was luckily still working there. After catching up with him for a bit, I then also had the fortune of running into David, the guy I had met in Taupo. We caught up also and compared our New Zealand experiences since we had parted ways. It´s amazing how often you can bump into people you have met along the way.

A pretty quiet night from there on as I had to be up very early for my flight over to Buenos Aires. 6 months travelling complete and it was time for the final part of my trip. Hopefully, I´d saved the best until last.

South America........Here I come!!!
