Opera House

Posted under Chronicles of Australia

Last Sunday I went with Daisy to the Opera House, the Opera Theatre and the Drama Theatre were opened (yeah for free!) to exhibit the Courtain of the Sun and the Courtain of the Moon. Those are designs of John Coburn, an Australian painter.

And after that we went to The Rocks, where there is a nice Christmas tree, yeah in the Summer, what a weird hemisphere!!

Manly!

Posted under Chronicles of Australia

Finally the Summer is almost here (yeah it is weird, Christmas in Summer I know), and I went to Manly beach. Well, I went like two months ago but the weather wasn’t warm enough to enter into the water. Anyway the water was somewhat cold (for my taste), not like our Caribbean, but I spent such a great day. Girls in bikini, nice sand, cheap food in the Corso (not Via del Corso of course! (non-Roman readers check Wikipedia or Google)). And lots of surfers, this is dinkum Aussie life mate!

Pictures in queue

Posted under Chronicles of Australia

I have some pictures in queue from a couple of weeks ago. I went to the ANZAC bridge, I was very curious because in Villahermosa we have a bridge just like that, well 5 times smaller :) , and I just found that Pyrmont is actually a nice neighbourhood. Also I found some interesting things, a nice old ship, confusing signs for tourists, a ship from Hanso foundation, you know all the things you can see in Sydney.

Some friends asked me if I only go to city to walk around, well no exactly actually I check what is happening in city in internet and also I have a more or less planned thing, like I’ll go to Darling Harbour and then to the bridge and then… you know, I’m not only walking aimlessly like a tourist around the Opera House!
