Melbourne, Australia, Australia Today was a more eventful day on and off the track. I went over to the Crown Casino Sports Bar for 10am and was lucky enough to get the UCONN game on the big screen tv. I’ve watched their last few games here and every time I have gotten the game, with audio, on the big screen all to myself. It’s been awesome! UCONN played another great game and Kemba Walker was just ridiculous again. The Huskies…
Melbourne, Australia, Australia Today was my first experience with Formula 1 Grand Prix. It started out with a very early rise to catch the tram over to Albert Park for gates opening at 8am. Lisa had ordered the tickets for us and we have GP Advantage tickets which meant we were able to go in earlier than everyone else and have breakfast and take a walk down the pit lane. It was very cool to see the different teams putting…
Melbourne, Australia, Australia Today was a VERY long day. I woke up at 6:30am and showered and got all ready to go. The train was only 10 minutes late, so I figured we were off to a good start. The train was scheduled to take 11 hours to get to Melbourne, but I thought I would see some nice scenery on the way. I was warned by a lot of people that there was nothing to look at on the…
Sydney, Australia, Australia I finally got a nice day in Sydney today! My day started out at Erin and Jono’s where I woke up and packed all my things to head back to the city. I caught Jono just before he was heading out for a surf, so he was nice enough to give me a lift over to Gosford Station to catch my train. The timing worked out perfectly to get me to the station just in time to…
Kincumber, Australia, Australia Today was a recovery day for pretty much everyone. I wasn’t hurting too bad this morning, but Ryan and Damo were struggling big time. We said our good byes to Gabby and Ryan and headed back up to the Central Coast. We got back to Krissy’s house at about 11am and watched “Honey I Shrunk The Kids”, I’m not sure why. Krissy and Damo were asleep within a half hour and I never saw Damo leave the…
Ashfield, Australia, Australia I woke up this morning at about 8am to Jackie and Krissy getting ready for yoga down in Terrigal. Since I couldn’t really sleep, I figured I might as well head down to Terrigal and check out the town. It’s a beautiful little beach with a nice boardwalk up to a lookout over two bays. I walked around the town for a bit and sat at the top of Haven for a while just people watching and…
Terrigal, Australia, Australia Today was a very productive day in Sydney even though, yet again, there was no sun shining on the city. Krissy and I left Terigal at 7am and got into Sydney for about 8:15am. We grabbed some breakfast and she headed off to work as I headed up to the Opera House. I was bound and determined to get this tour today, and luckily I showed up at 9:15am and was able to get onto the 9:30am…
Terrigal, Australia, Australia Believe it or not, today was even more relaxing than yesterday! Jono and Erin were both working in Sydney today so I was left home alone. Luckily Jono is a huge UFC fan as well so he left a pile of DVDs for me to watch. I spent the entire day on the couch watching UFC and SportsCenter when I found out that they get ESPN over here! I’ve not seen SC since I left Colorado so…
Kincumber, Australia, Australia Today was another lazy day for me. I woke up after a great night’s sleep at Erin’s house and spent most of the day on the couch watching tv. Jono had the day off of work today so he was in and out surfing or going to Jui Jitsu classes. These Aussies really like their fitness! This afternoon I decided to go down to the beach with Jono while he was going for a surf. I didn’t…
Sydney, Australia, Australia Today I almost did a lot of stuff, but I didn’t really get a lot done. I packed up all my stuff and checked out of the hostel by 9am. I left my bags at the hostel and headed down to the Opera House in hopes of going on the Essentials Tour. As soon as I got to the ticket office, I found out that about half of the Opera House was off limits until later this…
