Sydney here we come

Had some great coffee this morning at 'Frothy Coffee' on the lakes. What a view and I could have stayed there for many hours more. 

We tried our hardest to fit another nights good camping in before we got to Sydney, but by the time Celia had packed  the tent up and I had come back from my run on the beach, the rain came back with vicious force. Everywhere we went was waterlogged so we laughed it off and headed for Sydney for a visit with Rhys & Susanne.

On the way we stopped off at the tallest tree in NSW which lead you through this 'enchanted'  forest which had these mini Wallaby / Kangaroos running around. The tree was big as the label said, but there is something underwhelming about looking at a tree, no matter how many hundred meters tall it it. 

We did not posses a Sydney map, so when we arrived we were completely lost. Driving over the Harbour Bridge was fun though. Eventually after negotiating a couple toll roads we found the center of town and the most expensive parking lots in the world.

Rhys and Susanne have a lovely place in Coogee and after dropping off our bags, we headed out to eat some Thai. I'm loving the restaurants in Aus as the majority of them are BYO (bring your own booze) and you can get merry at a fraction of a price.
