Sydney City
I did not like the city of Sydney too much. The weather was mixed this day with clouds and rain and windy. It took me over an hour and a half to reach the city centre by train and car and I had to travel back the same way in the evening.
There is no point in trying to go there by car, parking is way too expensive up to 50 a day.
I used, as recommended by some people, the Sydney harbour ferry boat, only 5 $ to cross the whole harbour the Harbour Bridge and to reach the opera house. I walked through the Botanical Garden up to the old wharf area.
On my way back "home" to Cathai I had a burger at Hungry Jack.
I our shag we, Rowen and his father Manfred, had a nice fire in the chimney. Which meant a little warmth, like in a sauna, for the day which was cold an chilly all day.
Ich fand heute die City von Sydney nicht so aufregend. Das Wetter war durchwachsen, mit etwas Regen am Nachmittag. Ich brauche ungefähr 1.5 Std. in die Stadt mit Auto zur Bahn und mit der Bahn in die City und dann auch wieder den gleichen Weg zurück.
Mit dem Auto völlig sinnlos, Parken in der City: 50,- $ pro Tag.
Ich bin, wie empfohlen mit der Sydney Ferry, für 5,- $ (das ist günstig!) einmal durch den ganzen Hafen bis zur Oper und dann durch den Botanischen Garten mit einem Essenstop, bis zur Wharf und durch die City wieder zurück.
Auf dem Heimweg noch zu : "Hungry Jack" so heißt hier der Burger King. McDoof hat dafür gratis WiFi (Internet).
Heute gibt es Kaminfeuer in der Shag, der alten Holzhütte, in der ich kampiere, bei Rowan und seinem Vater Manfred, der 1960 von Köln emigriert ist. So ist es zur Abwechslung einmal nicht zu kalt und fröstelnd, sondern eher wie in der Sauna.
