HOME: lil' studio apartment on the harbour

This is our fancy studio apartment in Russell Lea. Yeah, its the biggest apartment we've had since we've been married...but we're not braggin'. So, for all of you wanting to come and visit, you can stay in the...er, uh, maybe in the bathroom? I guess the shower has its own door...or maybe up on the building's roof? Well, just have a peek at our pad! It's an all-in-one kind of package. Wardrobe/closet conveniently located across from the couch/bed. This is great if you get cold at night you just reach over and grab some more layers.

(Oh, by the way, that picture of two white buttons below-that's how you flush the toilets here. Half flush for the stuff yer not too concerned about - full flush if yer gettin' worried we suppose?! And down there is our handy portable stovetop/oven. Pretty neat, eh?)

Tourin' the grounds of the Sydney Opera House.

Sydney Trains

These are the carriages of the Sydney train system. They are much bigger than the ones in Washington, D.C. All of the trains are two story and at rush hour are generally left with standing room only. They are also much filthier than the ones in Washington, D.C. The map on the wall behind Brad shows how complex the system is. We won't even break the surface of this place before we leave.

Bondi Beach

Not too shaby for the dead of winter, eh?
