My Cruise Down Under - Australia Adventure
May 29, 2008
I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful city of Sydney last November. I spent 5 nts in Sydney and have decided I must return for no less then a month. There are 30 bays in Sydney and it is my goal to explore each one of them someday!Upon arriving in Sydney, I suggest spending a minimum of 5 nights enjoying the city sights. Sydney is rated the best city in the world by readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Sydney, with its friendly residents, agreeable climate,, natural beauty and relaxed outdoor-oriented lifestyle is a “walker friendly” city.
