It's been a long trip, but we're finally at our last stop - Sydney New
South Wales, where Jen has been going to school since the end of
June. We get a few days with her before we come home. Maybe
we'll see
Australian
Catholic University , maybe see where
Jen works (woo hoo
work!)
and see the sights. Some we saw before, and would like to see
again. And we'll see some new things, no doubt.
Check out our pages on Sydney from 2001:

And, despite what the
weather
forecast tells you, it will be raining from September 15 to
18. (See the May 8, 2001 story above for details)
And for those keeping track of these things, we go to Sydney on QF923,
arriving 2:45 PM. And we're staying at the ultra-luxurious
Park Regis Sydney, 27
Park Street. We understand the really excellent bakery next door
was shut down due to socialist anarchists, so we will have to find our
breakfast in other places...
Today we flew from Cairns to Sydney,
where Jen is going to school. Tonight we ate at a very cool
restaurant in The Rocks area of Sydney, called "Lowenbrau", named for
the German beer. It's very cool because they have a resident
oom-pah band that sings, plays, performs German folk dances, songs on
tuned cowbells, and then gets the patrons involved in a cowbell
concert, beer-drinking contest, and the chicken dance. Jen showed
her until-now unknown performing ability by being the dominant cowbell
for "Edelweiss". We had great food - Jen had Chicken
Schnitzel chips and herb mayonnaise, Mom had a veal dish and I had
Zurich veal with spatzen, homemade noodles. Yum!
Tomorrow we're off to see "Australia's Grand Canyon", in the town of
Katoomba.
