I Come From A Land Down Under

In a word, Sydney is awesome. I like it here, and could really see myself staying on for a year or two. It’s so incredibly chilled out, much like New Zealand – if a little bit more cosmopolitan. I’m staying with my Aunt, Uncle and kids about 20 minutes ferry ride north in Neutral bay. This whole ferry thing is rocking. Go into town, have a few drinks, get the ferry home. Only in Sydney.

Spent part of the day at Balmoral beach, swimming in the beautiful blue water, and playing amongst the sandstone boulders. We haven’t really done the sea in New Zealand, so it’s been a nice change. Finding being woken up by the kids at 7am pretty difficult, and they’ve totally walked all over me, in terms of finding my Christmas presents and sneaking looks through the now giant sized holes in the wrapping paper.

Hopefully heading back to the indoor climbing wall tomorrow – I visited about 2 years ago, and seem to remember this huge overhung bouldering wall. It’s been a while since I’ve climbed, and looking forward to cranking some plastic.

Met up with Jeff tonight for a few beers and some food. For all the intelligence that he seems to portray, he is really just a geek wannabie who plays Xbox and can’t figure out how to sms with any amount of proficiency. He still wears purple laces.
