I could have said that a tornado picked up my house and carried me all the way to the other side of the world, but I'm not L. Frank Baum and this isn't the land of Oz.
Oh wait...yes it IS!!!
Somebody pinch me already!
So here I am in "The Harbour City" and the view from where I sit is nothing short of breathtaking. This truly is a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to touch my feet on the "Land Down Undah!" and that dream has become a reality.
Now I know that I whine and complain about my job from time to time, but it is times like this that I really can put that all behind me and say, "Man, Am I glad I made the choice to work at the airlines!"
I've only been here six hours and I can tell you straight away that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this city! It's clean, it has great architecture, and there is so much to see and do here. There is really something for everyone here. And talk about innovative.
One of the first things that I discovered here in Sydney is that they have taken almost all their "back alley ways" and converted them into walking malls and shops. This picture here is of The Strand:
I'm sure this picture doesn’t do it much justice, but that's a 3-story indoor-outdoor walking mall, with tiny boutiques all up and down the corridor and smart little cafes all along the ground floor, with seating in the center promenade.
The other thing I have noticed so far is that it is TRUE what they say about Aussies being a friendly bunch. I'm sure they can be a bit brash if the situation warranted it, but they really do greet you and it seems truly genuine.
I know that I will miss this place already when I have to leave on Wednesday, but for now, I will just say "G'Day" and bring you along for the ride!
Cheers!!!
