Sydney-Day Fifteen
The plan was check out the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), the Rocks, and if I had time the Art Gallery or Bondi Beach. Now everybody knows Sydney by the Opera House. And I have to admit it is a beautiful bu idling, especially up close. Although the structure itself looks like a series of sails from a boat that's on the harbour, it was actually conceived to be parts of a sphere. And what looks to be one large white panel that cover the 'sails' are actually small 4x4 inch beige tiles. Not white. It really is great architecture and I coulda done the tour but I passed.
The Royal Botanical Gardens are very expansive and popular with the local runners. Goodness, from 10:00 to 12:00 there were runners everywhere! Zipping past me, coming towards me, doing sit ups and push ups on the grass, and few folks had some personal trainers with them. Overall, the gardens were lovely and I enjoyed just relaxing while I watched everybody work their butts off.
I then headed over to the MCA which is free, like most museums in Australia. And I was impressed. I especially loved the Yinka Shonibare exhibit. He is an African/English artist that uses Dutch fabric on mannequins, film, traditional paintings, and portraits to do his art (http://www.mca.com.au/default.asp?page_id=10&content_id=4251). I loved it!! He truly is fantastic and his art is so visually stimulating. I spent a long time there without even realizing it...probably 2 1/2 hours! The other exhibits were fantastic as well but not as fun as Shonibare's. If you ever hear of his work coming anywhere near your town....GO.
After being immersed in culture, I headed out to the Rocks. A touristy area with retail shops, restaurants, and art galleries. And roamed. I spent most of my time walking around this portion of the city and further south. So many people everywhere. I found myself a pub and had a beer and people watched. Sydney is such a diverse city and I saw every ethnicity you can think of really. And fortunately, these folks brought their food with them. Each block had numerous ethnic restaurants tucked into the building in tiny spaces...sushi stops, fish-n-chips, delis...and on and on. For dinner I decided on Japanese and got a delicious Bento Box...

After that I continued to roam the city and headed out back to Circular Quay to check out the bridge and opera house at night. Really cool. I'm really sad that I have to go back. Realizing that this is my last full day in Australia...(I'm not counting the 8 hours I spent at the Sydney Airport on the following day) and I sat for a while along the Quay and tried to remember everything. I took the bus all the way back to the hostel to get one last look of the city from a bus and it was still bustling...When I got off the bus I had one last stop...and that was grabbing chocolate at the chocolateria San Churro, Miss Lisa Wagner Crawford told me about....and I had hot chocolate and grabbed a tin of buttermints....One last hoorah. Thanks Australia!!Manly-Day Fourteen
Sydney is a big city. I found that out when I decided to reduce my carbon footprint and walk to the Circular Quay (pronounced 'key'). I'm thinking maybe it would take me thirty minutes to get there. I wanted to check out the city as I walked before I headed out to Manly Beach north of Sydney Harbour on the ferries.
Jeez it took an hour! Heck, actually a bit more. I wanted to catch the 10:00 ferry and left at 9:30, but I ended up getting the 11:00 ferry. It was a great walk though to check out the city, the people, the stores, the restaurants...everything. When I got to the ferries, I was ready for a rest and waited. Circular Quay has about 5 wharfs that the ferries dock at and frequently cross the Sydney Harbour. I wanted to head to Manly 'cuz I heard it was an awesome beach. I was gonna do Bondi Beach, the most famous in Sydney, but I really wanted to do a ferry ride and check out the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the water.
I was not disappointed. It was a bright sunny day, about 72 degrees, and the views were fantastic. Ferry ride to Manly is highly recommended if you want great views of the city and its architectural icons. The ferry was full of families and teenagers heading out to the ocean. Once I got to Manly, I instantly liked it. Great beach town with lots of shops and restaurants and a FANTASTIC beach. I changed into my suit and ran out to to the water. The water was calm and clear and aqua blue. Freezing, but I was so excited to be swimming I didn't care. I swam and relaxed on the beach for a couple of hours and people watched, grateful for an awesome day. I went and got some lunch at the fish market and went shopping. Manly has great shops for souvenirs and really cheap so I loaded up.
While I was shopping I noticed that the shopping square was starting to fill up with lots of people wearing maroon and white. I asked a local what the deal was and apparently the Manly Sea Eagle Rugby Team was gonna parade within the square because they won the national championship...by a land slide. 40-0 against Melbourne and they were the underdogs predicted to loose. I had heard that they won and they were partying at one of the condos on the beach for the past three days (they won on Sunday), but I didn't really pay much attention to it. So they won what was equivalent to us back in the states as the Super Bowl. Needless to say, it was a hottie parade. I am now an official Manly Sea Eagle fan. I'll be starting a fan club back in Austin ladies, http://www.manlyseaeagles.com.au/default.asp.
Anyway, I enjoyed the festivities for a bit at the square and then hopped back on the ferry to get back to town. Again the view was fabulous and lovely. When I got off the ferry I decided to do the train and buses back. I was tired of walking, andI had another full day tomorrow. Once showered I headed out to find me some grub. I was in the mood for Indian food and I had seen a couple of places in my 'hood. I found a place called Nawan, or something like that. The food was good, but overpriced and really bad service...:-(. Oh well. Another day...and tomorrow was my last....

Travel to Sydney-Day Thirteen
Travel from Melbourne to Sydney was pretty uneventful on day thirteen. I drove the GRO again on my way to the airport in Melbourne and then flew to Sydney from there. I got to the airport early so I can catch up on what's going on as far as the elections and economy....whoa nelly! I'll be checking on my 401K as soon as I get back...if it's still there...So the flight was about a 2 1/2 hour flight and there three very loud, rowdy Italian guys sitting in the row in front of me jamming out, to of all things, Enrique Iglesias Bailamos album...yeah. Weird.
Once I got to Sydney I had to figure out the lovely train system there to get to my hostel in Glebe. I ended up getting a pass that'll let me on all the trains, buses, and ferries. It was great until I realized that I was going to have to get on a bus to get to my hostel with all my luggage. What a POA. And because I didn't know where exactly my hostel was on the road I got dropped off on, I ended up walking up hill with all my luggage (I accumulated another big bag) for about 2 km. I was sweating buckets when I got to the reception. Pretty unattractive.
So I checked in and showered immediately so I can check out my 'hood. This hostel had five to a room and the beds were all full. Nobody was there when I got in but It'll be interesting when I get in at night. The hostel is apartment style with several floors, an internet room, and a large kitchen downstairs. Pretty cool. I decided I was gonna make my breaky every morning so I went shopping. Glebe is a pretty cool neighborhood with beautiful historic town homes, local food shops, and restaurants. I was able to get fresh bread, fresh veggies, milk and eggs all along the first two blocks. And the cool thing is if you walk another two blocks...you'll find more small grocers with fresh goods. I really like this idea of having individual shops for specific food items. I know we've gotten away from that back in the states, but having a local butcher, bread maker, produce guy, fish guy, and dairy guy makes it seem you're so much more connected to the community. And it seems the quality is better too since each person is responsible for their product.
Anyway, I got my goods and got some dinner at a little hole in the wall Thai place. It had Laksa and from what I remember back in Adelaide at the Central Markets when Boone had it ....it was good. So I got some for dinner and headed back to the kitchens at the hostel to eat it there. Lots of people were staying here. Young, old, and from all over the place. I heard German, Swedish, French, and Italian, and a series of Asian languages I could not identify. Great people watching. I ate my Laksa (which was fantastic!) and headed in for bed. One of my roomates was already there a sweet girl from Japan that knew hardly any English. We introduced ourselves and I crashed...tomorrow Sydney.

Great Ocean Road-Lorne Day Eleven and Twelve
(No photos on this one....not at a good place to download them....but will soon!)
I'm so glad Sarah recommended I travel along the Great Ocean Road. It was fantastic! In addition, Boone gave a top six list of things to do while I was on the road and I was able to do most of them. From Port Fairy I traveled to Port Campbell and saw the beautiful 12 Apostles at the marine park there. These are a series of limestone monuments that were part of the mainland but have been eroded away by the ocean and now standalone like sculptures along the coast. Very cool.
I dropped by several of the other little towns along the road and checked out plenty of 'Scenic overlooks'. But the drive was stunning and I was lucky enough to have a gorgeous day. Another one of Boone's things to do was take a rainforest walk. A rainforest walk you ask? In Australia? You betcha! It was just off the main road and quick 20 minute hike. But it really was a rainforrest. It smelled like it too. Very lush, green, with huge trees! Totally unexpected considering most people think of desert when they think Australia.
I continued onto Lorne, my stop, and went through Apollo Bay. These are awesome beach communities with really beautiful beaches that are shallow and tame. Once I got into Lorne I settled into my hostel roamed around town then headed back to get ready for dinner. I ate at this really surprising tapas bar called BaBaLu. It was Paella night with a live band. Very relaxing. I didn't have the paella but I heard it was good...instead I opted for a series of tapas which were quite filling and delicious.
My plan for the following day was to learn how to surf....at the surf capital of Australia, Torquay. Unfortuneatley, a storm blew in the night before and it dropped the temperature 15 degrees. Too cold for my blood...55 degrees F. Cold weather + cold water = unhappy Laura...strike one. But I decided to check out the famous beaches on Torquay, Jan Juc, and Bells anyway. There were some dedicated surfers out there but it was dang cold. It start by Boone to check out the golf course. He wouldn't tell me why but he said it was a surprise. Anyway, as I drove up there I saw signs that the course would be closed to visitors that wanted to see the kangaroos...so I guess that was what the surprise was...strike two. Oh well.
Took my time on the GOR towards Lorne and enjoyed the scenery. At this point I only had one thing left on my list. Erksine Falls just outside of Lorne. I was debating. Should I or shouldn't I. It was about to rain again. I've already had two strikes....Ah, I did it.
Homerun....it was an awesome waterfall in what seemed another rainforrest. It was a steep hike down then up to get to the base of the falls but well worth it. Again really lush and green. And what's so amazing is that its this beautiful forrest and woods just 15 minutes for the most gorgeous coast you can imagine. I was in heaven folks.
At this point, I've done all on my list and it was relax time. Took a walk along the beach, headed to one of the pubs when it began to rain, and chilled....tomorrow travel to Melbourne then Sydney.....

Princess Highway-Day Ten
So I've been driving on the the left side of the road....weird!!! I said good-bye to Boone and Sarah :-(, after I picked up my rental and then I was off to the Great Ocean Road. Yes folks Laura has officially gone international. I drove from Adelaide to Port Fairy with a stop in Mt. Gambier and Port McDonnel.
It was quite beautiful...lots of vineyards, rolling hills, sheep farms with fluffy fat sheep, and large eucalyptus trees. I have to admit it felt good driving again and after a while I got used to driving on the "wrong" side. Luckily, all I had to do was drive on a highway so I didn't have to worry about driving in town getting all confused. I do have to admit that I did take a couple of wrong turns! But it was fun and I got listen to Australian radio. Lots of dance music. And I got to listen to the news...something about America in an economic crisis? I don't care. I'm on vacation.
Anyway, Port McDonnel was cool and had a petrified forrest on the beach and beautiful limestone cliffs. Mt. Gambier had a huge crater with a gorgeous blue lake...called Blue Lake. Anyway, at this point it was getting late and I had to make it to Port Fairy to get to my reservation at the hostel. I made it settled in and had dinner at a local restaurant. After that I crashed. Daylight savings time here....and tomorrow will be another full day...

Kangaroo Island-Day Five through Nine
There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe Kangaroo Island the fun I had there. It's an amazing place and I feel pretty lucky that I got to experience it, especially since not even most Australians do much less travelers. Its rugged, untouched, pristine, beautiful, and wild. Now, at first I believed I was to do some good ol' fashioned camping with tents on the beach. Thankfully, Boone and Sarah surprised me and got a lovely beach house on Island Beach just footsteps away from the turquoise ocean. Yes it was that blue.
I visited several beaches in fact...Pennington Bay, Vivonne Bay, Stokes Bay, Antechamber Bay, and Maupertuis Bay. All stunning. I fished and actually caught my first fish ever! It was too small so I had to throw it back but it was still fun. So I became addicted and wanted to fish every chance we got. But thankfully Boone and Sarah took me to Flinders Chase National Park on the western part of the island and I got to hike some awesome hills and a river that looked like tea drain into the ocean, see a seal colony and watch a couple of them play in the water, climb and scuttle under huge granite boulders at the Remarkable rocks. That was just one day!
And the wildlife.....everywhere! Kangaroos hopping up just to say hello, wallabies everywhere, and koalas in trees by the side of the road! We also saw a tiger snake...one of the most deadliest...cross the road but Boone took a photo of that puppy. Yuk. Anyway, I also got to actually hold and nurse the tiniest baby wallaby ever.
Boone and Sarah's friends who live on the island rescued it from the side of the road. Its mama was run over by a car (it happens a lot). So she was taking care of it feeding it Wallaroo, baby kangaroo and wallaby formula. Hilarious! Anyway, Boone and Sarah's friends Maggie and Holger made their life here on KI about 20 years ago from nothing. They built their own house, caught their own food, and grew their own vegetables. We were able to have dinner with them one night and they have to be one of the most loveliest down to earth people I've ever met.
I wish I could say I swam the beautiful Southern Ocean but it was freezing!! Keep in mind that these are Antarctic waters and the weather was chilly itself. I finally was able to submerge myself in Stokes Beach 'cuz it had a little shallow pool protecting it from the rest of the waves. Colder that Barton Springs people! But it was still fabulous.
And what did I eat you ask? Well, since we didn't catch that many fish (dodgy tide) we luckily had all the awesome stuff we bought from Central Market. But we did cook one fish that Boone caught one day and ate it as fish tacos. Then we also got fresh Oysters. Just off the boat fresh. And they were huge! We ate them raw and then Sarah later baked some of them on a half shell with garlic butter and parmesean cheese.....drool. And we had wonderful cheeses and stopped off at a great little cafe that had awesome fish and chips. Life is so good.
Our last day at KI was sad and we all didn't want to leave. But maybe...just maybe...Boone and Sarah will get some land there...(they're thinking about it!)...and hopefully I'll be back and experience it all again
