Just like Manchester ...

Wed 19 Jul 06 rain 14 °C

Well, at least the weather is like Manchester - it's chucked it down for 2 days solid.

Still, it's dry in the bars (in one sense of the word) !

Met up with Phil yesterday, had a few beers in Kings Cross (that's the are next to where I'm staying), and went for a great Chinese.

Sydney has a cool China town - way bigger than Manchester has, and it's pretty lively, even on a wet Tuesday night ...

Ate roast suckling pig (Chinese style) - now that's decadence for ya !


Today (Wed) we were supposed to go on a Whale Watching trip, but it was too windy for the boats to go out. Instead, we ended up going to the aquarium.

It's actually a really great aquarium, with loads of big tanks set up like parts of the Barrier Reef.

Plus there are big sharks - swimming just an inch over your head in one place ... cooool.


After that, went for a meal at one of Sydneys most well know fish restaurant (so well known, that I've forgotten what it's called !). Had some really nice John Dory.

Was completely outclassed on the eating front, both yesterday and today, by Phil. Makes me feel thin...

Still no piccys - I haven't gotten round to getting a plug adapter yet, so my batteries are flat. I'm gonna sort that out tommorrow.

Laters dudes.

P.S. got a mobile today as well - number on the contact page.

Hey RichdoesOz, Very impressed that you've only been gone 3 days and we already have 3 blog entries - I'm more up to date with your movements than I was in Chorlton! Weather is crazy hot here - something like 31 degrees today but I'm convinced you're in the best place as we have to work! Sounds like so far you've been eating well which is important, the lonesome traveller needs his sustainance! Feel this entry wouldn't be complete without some 'carry on' style smutty joke but unfortunately I am at work and not feeling too inspired...come on Chorlton I'll expect more from you. Have a lovely time - look forward to getting some photos (and yes I will be scoring as promised!). G'day DC x

Also we all have 2000 maximum characters to write to you - lets hope none of us access this when bored or you could be in for a little too much inane conversation a bit like this

I'm not totally surprised that your blog is more about eating than anything else! Presumably you'll get to the bush tucker trials eventually.

We need to hear about the surfing and the beaches and the snakes. You *are* going to do that stuff aren't you?

Anyway, just to say that the three Ts are off on hols themselves on Saturday morning. Only to Provence. How dull we are. But really appreciating the blog. Keep it up and have fun.

And lots and lots of love from the Aldbury crowd.
