A week in Sydney!
December 9, 2009
Fran and I spent a week in Sydney last week, mainly attending a seminar, but had a few days to enjoy Sydney. It is over 20 years since I first visited Sydney and my how its grown up. Highlights included the hot!! weather, ferry trip to Watsons Bay to Doyles for lunch, ferry to Manly for walks along the beach, and just hanging out around Darling Harbour and the city.
Sydney has this lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere about it for a large city – has all the expected hustle and bustle – with bumper to bumper cars and people, but manages to keep a little laid back.
Best find was the qvb cafe in the Queen Victoria Building – great coffee and free wifi to check and send emails, cruise the internet and to check in on line for our flight home.
Saw two very large commercial projects being built and it was interesting to note that both were 6 star rated green buildings.
And one other thing – Emirates and the new large Airbus 380(?) was awesome.
