Some pictures from walking through Hyde Park on the way to downtown from our hostel |
When we arrived in Sydney, I remember wondering aloud to Sean, "What do they call people from this city? Sydnites? Sydnians?" We learned quickly that people from Sydney are called "Sydneysiders" and that they are quite proud of where they live. Almost all of them think their city is superior to Melbourne in every way possible.
These crazy birds (Ibis) were huge and all over the parks |
I should also point out that while traveling in Australia and New Zealand, Sean and I were constantly appreciative of how easy, safe and efficient it was to travel. After spending a combined four months traveling around southeast Asia, spending time in NZ and Oz was like another world entirely. Everything was easy to do or figure out, things were organized, safe and streamlined infrastructure was in place, the cities were amazingly clean, and the public transport was fast. Sean and I moved between public ferries, buses, and trains with no problem at all. The one downfall? The expense.
