Australia 6

Last stop (sigh!!) of trip was Sydney, I would have reached it in 18 hours with the bus that coasts along the whole coast. For the first 400 Km it can be observed some beautiful landscapes with immense and uninhabited beaches, I saw in distance the outline of Surfers Paradise the Australian 'Rimini', this city is full of skyscrapers that do a little bit to fists with the surrounding landscape. A little afterwards Moreton Bay (sets that many has pointed out to me like very beautiful) the bus is penetrated from the coast and therefore the trip becomes monotonous.

The arrival to Sydney was decidedly exciting, the bus has crossed the bay allowing me to admire the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House illuminated by a suggestive light. Unloaded in front of the station I worked hard for looking for a setup, I have to say that to Sydney the level of the hostels is slightly lower in comparison to the rest of Australia. I opted for the CB Private Hotel that it finds in strategic position for the visit of the city, considering that unfortunately it was full I had to opt after different phone calls for Backpackers Connection that it finds in the district of Kings Cross, the 'red' district, in Sydney.

To see the city with the public transport different types of pass can be acquired, the more complete give the possibility to use all the means for 3 days (even the ferries) to the cost of 60 A$, according to me however it is not worth the punishment to buy it as the city is not enormous, I took the pass for the buses that costs 10 A$ a day and when necessary I used the subway.

I like The city, it has an atmosphere perhaps all particular, it's more chaotic city of Australia but in every case very liveable.

The first thing I made was going to the zone of Circular Quay to see the mythical Opera House and the Harbour Bridge that I have photographed in all the sauces.

From this the ferries that turn for the whole bay also depart, it is worth the punishment to take the one arrives to Darling Harbour that for 1,5 A$ give the possibility to cross one of the more beautiful bays of the world. Under the Harbour Bridge is found The Rocks, a series of old stores that have been restructured and that they now entertain shops and restaurants, from here it is able to reach one of the pylons of the bridge, from top is enjoyed a beautiful sight.

In the zone of Darling Harbour it is found a beautiful aquarium, a commercial center where excellent acquisitions can be made, museums and also possible to visit a Russian submarine. From this district it also passes the monorail that it also crosses part of the center and on which and pleasant to make a stroll.

The district of Kings Cross like already said is and full of night-club, while I walked along the main street I was "attacked" by the night-club agents looking for new customers; besides this however it's the zone with the highest concentration of hostels and good occasions are been above all for buying/selling of cars.

Just in the city center is found Sydney Tower, 305 meters tall, I decided to go up in the evening to go off some pictures, once arrived in top I have discovered however that really in front of the tower there is a little skyscraper more 's lower, that ruins the whole sight covering completely the part of the bay in which it finds the Opera House.

The last but one day I was proposed me to go to Bondi Beach to see the surfers and to take the sun, naturally the sky was covered and the sea calm so I walked along the beach, the occasion was served however to do a panoramic turn of the city by bus, I crossed the district of Paddington where it can be admired some beautiful houses in Victorian style.

The day of the departure naturally the sun shone, so while my roommates went to the beach I took the bus to the airport from which in only 26 hours of flight I would have reached house!!!
