Did manage to get in a little bit of Christmas moon when we arrived at our friend's place...they bought us a present and a Santa hat. How sweet of them 
.
Well, now that it is after Christmas, it is time to do some more sightseeing of Sydney. Ups, forgot to tell you what we have done already, so let me start from the beginning.
Museum of Sydney: Was a little bit of a disappointment as it focused more on Bondi Beach than the whole of Sydney and it's history. But what they had about the history was very interesting.
Paddy's Market (in Haymarket): Is decently big, but I could not find anything that was of interest such as traditional Australian items as it says in their brochure. But if you are looking for something cheap and touristy, this would be the place to go.
The Pylon-lookout on Harbour Bridge: Compared with the A$200 they charge for a bridge-climb 
, the shorter and much cheaper tour up to the pylon-lookout is worth a go. Here you get the history of the bridge included in the price as well as the view and it only costs you A$8.50.
Otherwise we have just been relaxing in parks, shopping and going out with people we are meeting in the hostle.
That's it for today, tomorrow is another day with sightseeing on the program.
yeah, totally agree with the Sydney Museum, they could do a lot better but it's a tourist market eh..lol
Paddy's market is ok for a few things, quite cheap as well....
try Kings Cross, not the main drag but the back side streets for a few good stalls, they come and go but it's a good atmosphere...not at night though..lol
Newtown is a good area if you havn't tried that, a few "militant" people about which makes it more interesting.. also Paddington is a decent area...
I know there is one massive market on each month but I forget which subburb it's in. all the art people go there for supplies etc... lots of stuff like lampshades made from school ties and the like.. quite cheap and even some abbo stuff there..
anyway
peace
