The world according to Kiwis and Aussies (written by a Pom!) This is about my life in the last 12 months, travelling and seeing the world- or more specifically seeing a small area of South Island NZ ( I'll tell you all about the adventures I've already had cos I've just about finished in NZ now!)and the locals that inhibit this beautiful part of the world...(Don't worry guys I'm talking about the dairy cows as a rule!)

Traffic crazy Sydney

AUSTRALIA | Tuesday, 6 March 2007 | Views [603]

Everywhere you look here there are cars, taxis, buses and general traffic, I can't quite get used to having to look before crossing the road, certainly not a pre-requistite in Fairlie! The traffic is just crazy, bus after bus filled with people listening to ipods or reading the paper. Maybe its just my lack of ever being in such a huge place before but there are people everywhere, and I can honestly say its not my favourite thing.

And boy are they sporty over here, I've seen about a million joggers/runners, cyclists, 2 separate outside yoga classes,as well as all those people who seem quite happy to walk (Including me, its only a couple of km's from my hostel to the quayside and quite a nice walk). Only thing I haven't seen are swimmers in the harbour! It looked very tempting today, very hot, but I came to the conclusion its not really like going for a dip in Opuha, I'd probably be dead before I hit the water, sharks, jellyfish whatever else deadly lurking around probably waiting for tourists to jump in! Maybe I'm exagerrating but you never know!
