I returned from Sydney Sunday night to spend a few days in Melbourne before picking up Uta's sister, Katrin, and heading back to Sydney on Friday for another long weekend.
I spent Friday in Sydney checking out (in the rain) its more famous sights - the Opera house, Sydney Harbour Bridge, the ANZAC memorial, etc. (Click on the opera house to link to all the photos).
We took the ferry over to Manly (a beach community on the north side of the harbour) on Saturday morning, after eating breakfast at a cafe where we sat next to two couples from Atlanta who were having trouble ordering coffee ("coffee" in Australia only exists in its more pretentious forms: lattes, cappuccinos, as well as some uniquely Australian variants).
Saturday night we ate dinner at a Thai restraint in Darling Harbour and then joined two of Uta's fellow consultants for drinks in Circular Quay followed by more drinks at a club called "Gelato" - I think the name says it all.
Sunday, we took a train and bus to the famous Bondi Beach, where we ate breakfast and then walked along the coast toward the slightly more low-key Bronte Beach.
