It's all too beautiful!

I needn't have worried, I love Sydney, too. Actually, it's even better than Melbourne :-) I spent the first two days hopping on and off the tourist buses (the Sydney and Bondi Explorers), which gave me a good feel for the city. Looking at my photos just now I get the feeling I spent most of my time to take pictures of the Opera House, though (don't worry, I deleted most of them). But it is very photogenic. And: I managed to get a ticket for Die Zauberfloete on Wednesday evening, yippie!

Yesterday, I went on the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk (after a great lunch on Coogee at Barzura), so I got to see most of the Eastern beaches: They are all great-looking, relatively clean, and by European standards not crowded. And so close to the city center! On the way I passed a cemetery - even the graves have lovely views here. No big plans for today. Just want to spend some more time in the Botanic Gardens, lying on the grass with a good book (which I've yet to buy).
