Here we are - Finally

Sydney, Coogee Beach, what can I say? Everything I expected having seen a couple of photos and what I've heard. Such a great atmosphere, really chilled out atmosphere but still got a lively atmosphere at night with loads of bars, some opening 24 hours a day. Got quite a european feel to it some places. With small shops and cafes crammed in along the street with gazebo style things covering the pavement where you can chill out and enjoy the sun (or shade) and have a drink or some brekky.

The dorm - cracking location. Right on the beach, literally! I mean you could lob a pebble off the balcony and hit the sand! Great views. Slight lack of air conditioning though. Absolutely boiling at night. You can hear the waves crashing on the shore, such a relaxing sound - Thats when the guys in the dorm next door stop partying at 4 in the morning. We're not quite in the party mood yet. Just managed to get over our jet lag. We'll be up for the early hours clubbing it by the end of the week though I'm sure.

Toured the harbour on a guided cruise yesterday. Apart from the really cheesy commentary coming from the loudspeakers it was really good. Having said that I am really glad I know the house up on the hill was made with 20,563 bricks! Really useful information that I'm sure will stay with me forever more! Joking aside some really great views. I can prove that with the 80 photos I took. Admittedly most of those are duplicated about 3 times! Really shouldn't be allowed to use a digtal camera, I get slightly trigger happy - as people at home will testify, luckily I was sober otherwise things get way out of hand.

Just to prove that we did really make it to Oz here's a pic.
