Farmers World Tour: Sydney !!!

Flights Taken : 17

Hotel rooms stayed in : 35

Most expensive internet encountered: $99 for 7 days (thats £66 – RIP OFF! @ Travelodge in Sydney)

We caught a flight from Melbourne and decided to rent a car from the airport for the duration of our stay here (7 nights). We decided to do this as we much preferred the freedom to get out of the city and do some daytrips. We have also visited Sydney before and although it is an amazing city we have seen it all already and we just thought that 7 days was a long time. With this in mind we have trips planned in all directions from the city coming up (not East though thats the sea!). Also we might as well get some more use out of Edna (we have also discovered that she is loaded with the New Zealand maps also - bonus).

We arrived at our city centre hotel and once Chris got over the cost of the internet (essential to keep the dot com wheels of csfsoftware turning) we began to settle in.

The next day we embarked on a 5 hour self directed walking tour of the city centre. This started at the hotel taking in the shops on Pitt Street, the Rocks, the harbour bridge (walked on it), circular quay, the opera house, a ferry to Darling Harbour which we walked round then back to the hotel. On arrival back at the hotel we were knackered but managed to regroup to go out in the evening.

Sydney defiantly remains the most scenic city we have visited, if you have to live in a city it seems the ideal. It also reminded us slightly of the start of our trip back in Istanbul (seems ages ago now). Anyway here’s some of the pics of our manic walking tour today.
