After going to Manly on Monday, we have successfully made it to Byron Bay! Our Airbnb host was super nice and surprised us at the airport and drove us to town.

Seems all too good to be true right now. Our studio suite is brand new and amazing, 5 mins walk from town or brewery, and Byron Bay is Tofino on steroids. Cant wait to experience it the next 7 days!!!

Bondi Beach was the destination Sunday... The nicest day of the trip so far! I love it when popular places actually live up to their hype. Its truly a great place!



On Saturday we went to the fish market and had a massive platter of sashimi, fish and chips, and prawns. Kinda like Fishermans wharf in Seattle except.. ehem... reasonably price fish for sale to eat or take home! Sans all that other garbage craft stuff. As you can see there were a few people there...

Today we are off to Manly to check out the other popular beach suburb. Mixed weather outside so far, hoping for the best!

We celebrated Australia Day in our cheap and cheerful Paddy's Chinese market clothes and took this dorky picture.

Amazing fireworks to end the day!

The next day we walked a billion KM's for some reason. (Google map walking from Circular Quay to the Zoo). The weather sucks and somehow I got a neck burn?!?!

It's a rainy start...

We have arrived! Note the weather - heaviest rainfall since 2009 w/ extreme weather threat active throughout the week. Needless to say we are opting for inside activities today - off to the aquarium!

All good!

Made it to Sydney hassle free after escaping the island storm... Jess is "charging"
