Photo: The Chinese garden of friendship.Morning: Today is a beautiful day, we are having about 25 degrees. I make my daily internet cafe pop-in early, so there is plenty of time to walk to the Chinese garden of friendship. It is not that big, but very nice and quiet. I have my Chinese jasmin tea on the sunset terrace... Around noon, I have to go home to reload the camera batteries, because I left it on accidently when I was typing all my stuff... Since the hosts are not at home, I take the opportunity to take a sun bath meanwhile. I will even have the complete appartment for me alone during the weekend !
In the afternoon, I am off to the highest tower in the city: the Sydney tower. It gives a splendid 360 degree overview of the central business district and the surroundings. We are about 260 meter above ground level :-) Under the tower is a shopping mall of 4 stories. In the opal shop I have a nice talk with the guy. The owner has a whole career for searching for the opal stones, it took him 3 years for finding his first species !
Then I set off for a walk through the park to the pool of reflection, some memorial thing but nothing special in fact. My real destiny is Oxford street, the gay are of Sydney. It is about a kilometer long and indeed there are some shops and discos, but I am really not that much impressed. Compared to Berling, Sydney's gay scene is not a very big deal, but ok for a final decision, we have to explore the nightlife first... which I will do tomorrow saturday night.
