I hit the streets of Sydney today to finally give the city a good look-about. There is a great transit system that can get you just about anywhere. I had a bit of a late start and only got downtown at around 2pm so I didn't get to wander as much as I had planned, but I figure I will be here a few days so there will be plenty of time to catch the rest. Sydney is about the same population as Toronto, but with a whole lot more character. And walking downtown, I have never felt quite so uncool. It's not that I was wearing dirty or ugly clothes, but everyone around me looked so stylish that my t-shirt and capri pants may as well have been a potato sack.
Though I would like to note that I could downgrade from the two layers of coats I was wearing in New Zealand. Summer is back! ...except it is the Australian equivalent of November. The highs are sitting around the 22 mark and the ocean is as warm as it gets all year, having spent the last few months toasting up in the summer sun. I went down to Cronulla beach and they were having some sort of lifesaving contest with boats and lifeguards and very small swim trunks. Whether it was the attractive scantily clad men on the beach or the sunshine, I realized that I missed Australia when I was away. I think that instead of going to Vanuatu when I sell my car, I may just take a cheap flight up to Queensland and see as much of this place while I can, since God knows when I will be back.

PS: If the title of this post is unclear to you, it is a synonym to Speedos, just a little more colourfully descriptive.
