Sydney, July 30th 2017
Good morning Sydney.
Replaced the motorbike with a plane this weekend. Had to use up some of my acquired airmiles and considering that in the 15 off years that I’ve been living in New Zealand and still hadn’t paid a visit to our cousins across the ditch, I decided it was high time for me to do something about that. So booked some tickets, packed the bag and off to Sydney I went.
Living in New Zealand is a much more quiet affair. Our largest city is Auckland with a sprawled population of just over a million. You get used to the “quieter” lifestyle, yet I do miss the buzz that you get from a large cosmopolitan city and Sydney sure made up for that.
I’ll update my post as the break continues, with more photos and a catch-up with Dominic McGreary an old school friend from the European School of Brussels, we hadn’t seen each other in over 25 years.
Monday 31st of July – update
So … lots of photos that I’ll need to sort and cryicially aclaim before posting them. But the following did have to go up. There are times when you take a shot and only afterwards realise the funny side of it. I hadn’t really noticed the sign on the post the bird was perched on till I examined it at my leisure while having a beer.

Mate …. the bladdy idiots got me number wrong
