Another day, another country

Sydney in 11 hours...no problem! After freshening up and burning the clothes we wore for three days straight on our little Odyssey in LA, we had a bounce in our step and a whole new outlook, anticipating discovering a new city.....until our directionally challenged friend walked us the wrong way out of the city....into the 'burbs! No worries, we were multi-tasking and needed the extra exercise anyway.
We found the "token highest structure built in large international cities to extrapolate large sums of cash from stupid tourists" and obliged riding the elevator up, walking a circle and back down. Here's your $40 bux, thank you very much!
BTW, they really do like Americans down here, but they really don't take our cash!
When we pull it out, they look at us like we might as well be from Mars, which is what his chap looked like as he and his "mates" get ready to celebrate his last hours of freedom, b4 attaching himself to the ball and chain.
The best boat tour I've ever riden, found us for over 2 hours on the water in Sydney's harbour as we sailed a huge loop around the perimeter, learning about all of the rich people who live in the $5- $40 Million dollar homes, and skipper the multi-million dollar sailboats that pepper the water's surface during every lit moment of the summerday, here.
Of course we found ourselves at a colorful and lively Pub neighborhood, where we made more friends and sampled local hops and cuisine: We managed to have everything Sydney is famous for cuisinewise...you say you didn't realize Sydney was a culinary capital of the world? To which I say, "exactly, you are 100% correct". Still the best Kebobs, Meat pie, and Fish n Chips, we've ever had.
