Hey everyone. This will be a quick short entry since we are about to catch a train to our next spot. We are on our way to Katoomba. It is about a two hour train ride. We might be setting up camp in the dark or finding a Hostel tonight. These last few days have been pretty sweet. There are a few things we found out you can't do here in Sydney. One, you can't ride your longboards in the Botanical Gardens. Even though on the gate is has the little picture with the bike x-ed out and the rollerblades and rollerskates x-ed out there is nothing stating you can't ride a skateboard.. but if you get stopped, they will tell you that you are riding your rollerskates in the park. Don't know how that all works but whatever. If it has four wheels and it goes under your feet it is classified as rollerskates I guess. Second thing is, you aren't allowed to fly your kite of the front steps of the Opera house. Even if the wind is perfect, don't do it. My guess is, you would only have the kite in the air about 4 minutes until security shows up. Other then that, we have been playing with the Cockatoo's in the park. They are all wild but you wouldn't guess it. If you have food they will mob you until you give it up. The one picture you can kind of see the bats. About sundown they start coming out in the thousands flyinging throught the city. We have been having a blast walking around and seeing the water fronts. We checked out Chinatown and most of the local stuff. We'll keep you up to date on everything the best we can... Cheers! Oh, and just for you Raquel, here's a little shout out...
