The end is near

It only takes the site of the hills and trees while leaving Terminal 2 in Melbourne to make you truly miss Australia, before you've even left the country yet. Not that it would take much but it seems that the view from above one of the busiest cities in the world (so they say here) makes for a sad goodbye to say the least.

It was an easy few days, relaxing a little and playing guitar, spending time with Aunt Kim, Uncle Derek and the boys before I left to come to Sydney. But it was a goodbye filled with laughs and a fair amount of alcohol between the 4 of us at least. We spent last night watching the State of Origin game in which Queensland destroyed Blues... bad, oops sorry Brad. Either way the food and the beers and the conversation were all well worth the time. Though it was sad to say goodbye to Sean and Paul it is one step close to home, and the next time I am back, I will be here with Daryl and we will be a little more entertaining I promise!

But for now, I sit looking out the window of my hotel room in the center of Sydney at the beautiful Sydney Harbor all lit up over the shine of the water. It is all very beautiful and all is being imprinted in my memory, but for now here is the view just to let you see it as well.

Busy day tomorrow, Aquarium, market, harbor for lunch, Sydney Opera House, and a tourist bus around the city, a busy day but it will be topped off by a great boat trip around the harbor and a beautiful dinner with the views of the harbor and the city building up around me and the rest on the boat cruise. Then I promise I will have plenty of photos to share but for now I only have a these.

Till next time
