Well here we are in Sydney. It’s hard to believe that this is the second last stop on the surf tour. Since Fiji things have gone so quick, it seems like it was ages ago that we were boating out to Cloudbreak for the first time.

Sydney is a pretty cool city. In many ways it’s like a lot of other big cities I’ve been to and there is a certain Euro meets America feel to it, if that makes any sense. Last night Mike and I toured around the downtown area. We saw the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House which were both really cool as they were lit up with different colours for a event going on called Vivid.

Today we walked the city again in the morning and then in the afternoon took the bus and the train to Bondi Beach for a surf. Bondi was pretty cool and you really get the sense that people here like to be active. There were people running and biking on the walkway, skateboarders at the skate park over looking the beach and lots of surfers in the water. We surfed for a few hours before calling it quits and grabbing a bite to eat at a pretty cool Italian Café.

Tomorrow we’re going to begin our journey North to Brisbane with our new friend Tony from Spain who was looking to do the same route as us and just bought a car today.
