I can't imagine what would be better than cruising around Sydney Harbour in the middle of winter with my bikini on and a beer in my hand?! It's a rough life I lead.
Saturday morning I met up with my Aussie mate Grant and some of his friends (his buddy just married an American so the bridal party was still in town) to hit the Sydney Harbour in his boat and just relax and cruise around the bay. We spent a good chunk of the morning just cruising around seeing the Opera House, Bridge and the city from some amazing water views, then for lunch we hit the Sydney Fish Markets (you can basically just park your boat and venture inside) Inside you can get raw fresh sushi, huge shrimp, oysters, and pretty much any other fresh seafood you can imagine and of course where there is fresh there is fried, so fish and chips and fried calamari abounded as well. We all ducked in, got a veriety of food and shared on the boat ...AMAZING... Some of the biggest freshest oysters I have ever had and most amazing peel and eat shrimp, all washed down with another good Aussie beer.
After a bit more cruising we docked and cleaned the boat, then Grant and I decided that it was a must to hit the Footy as there are only a few games left for the season. The stadium is in the old Olympic dome where the Sydney Olympics were held, and the match was Sydney Swans (super masculine name) vs. the Geelong Cats (I am thinking for such a manly sport they should really work on the naming) The game semi resembles soccer, football, and maybe water polo all combined. It was a super close game which I watched intently, and only partially because of the super short shorts.
After the game we hit the pub in the Olympic park to comisterate with the other Sydney fans over our loss. From Boats to Footy in one day... Fantastic!
