time to leave (for a while)

Our second week in Sydney is drawing to a close, whatever force is driving us to Brisbane is nipping at our heels and we’ll be remounting the bikes in a couple of days.
We’ve done everything we planned to do and much more!
We braved the sea and had a Surf lesson then headed off to the Aquarium to see with whom we’d been sharing the water. Most importantly we squeezed in a visit to the Zoo; Why does the Aquarium restaurant serve fish, but the Zoo ‘Safari’ Café not serve Giraffe?
Speaking of food… We’ve sampled dishes from all around the world from Italian to Japanese and visited the famous Ribs and Rumps (where the All Blacks feed themselves when in town) and best of all at a Bavarian Haven: The Löwenbräu Keller (Oom Pah Band, Knee slapping, hat dances, Swiss horn and cow bell ringing As well as Bier drinking and Nail hammering competitions.)

Along the way we caught a few other sights - a surf competition & skateboard lessons, volleyball tournaments, masterpiece sand castles and techno-crazy Japanese district. We drank coffee and people watched, and succumbed to a small shopping outing (but we’ll be posting home our purchases.) Managed to see a tradition Aboriginal dance and catch a novelty children’s train that dropped us off in China town.
