I've now been home for one week and I'm aware that I've got a lot of writing still to do.
I will get around to it soon!

Kerry in Aus
After my late flight back into Sydney the previous night, I was still fairly tired as I headed back to the airport shortly before 7am on Saturday, the 28th June to meet Kerry. I had taken my passport along in order to identify myself to the British Airways member of staff who was responsible for supervising Kerry's flight from London, though it wasn't so much as glanced at by anyone. We gathered her suitcases and made our way to catch the train into the city. Most of the remainder of the morning was spent unpacking and organising Kerry's stuff around mine in the flat. She also had a shower after her long flights and we headed out to get some breakfast.
After returning to the flat, we made a list of food shopping which we had to get. Having been away for the previous week with Jessica, the cupboards were looking particularly bare at home. We completed our shopping in Woolworths before returning out to Paddy's Market and buying a whole load of fruit and vegetables. I introduced Kerry to the Iglu ping pong table, where I comfortably won and then she had a sleep for an hour or so. The plan for the evening was to meet up with Jessica and head to Darling Harbour for dinner and the fireworks. Unfortunately, with it being the first Saturday of the school holidays in Sydney, the harbour was incredibly busy. We attempted to find a table in several restaurants, each of which either point blank refused or had stupid waiting times. Eventually, we found a place, got a table and finished our meal just in time to see the firework display. It had been a long day and I think everyone was glad to get home to sleep.
The following morning, I thought it might be a good idea to go to Pancakes on the Rocks for breakfast. Although, having completely forgotten that it was Sunday morning and it was school holiday time, I did not anticipate a queue of people, lined down the street waiting for a table. We decided to move on and come back another day.
During the night, Colombia had won another game at the World Cup, which was the reason behind a convoy of Colombian's driving around the city, tooting horns and shouting from their cars. It was pretty cool to see, especially given how far away their home country is from Sydney.
Eventually, we opted for a small French-style cafe in the Rocks for breakfast. Coffee was accompanied by a chocolate eclair - a healthy, balanced breakfast, I think. Afterwards, we strolled around Circular Quay and Kerry captured her first photographs of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, on a beautiful sunny, winter morning. We took the opportunity to walk around the front of the Opera House, into the Botanic Gardens and took some more pictures.
This is the State Library of New South Wales, which I had visited before and really enjoyed. I asked Kerry if she wanted to go inside and told her a little about the amazing Shakespeare room and large, old fashioned interior. She questioned, "Why would I just want to go and randomly take out a book?" Point well and truly missed, we moved on.
Heading back into the city, we spent much of the afternoon shopping, stopping by all of the major stores along George Street on our way back towards the flat. Whilst I was doing my best to fill our days, Kerry was still mildly suffering from jet lag, so it was proving a little difficult to keep her alert and interested in the late afternoon. We got home and chilled for a while - after a game of ping pong - then cooked dinner. As it was Sunday, this day also marked an important event in Kerry's visit to Australia: her first episode of Masterchef. Needless to say, she was hooked straight away, just like everyone else who watches it. When it was almost time to be thinking about bed, Kerry got a second wind of energy, so we walked around to the amazing ice-cream shop behind the Central Mall for a late night treat.
After breakfast the next morning, I took Kerry along to see the campus at uni and show her the graffiti tunnel. I'd never actually walked through the tunnel before, so it was a first for me also and it was really impressive - even after having been in Melbourne only a matter of days before. The concept is exactly the same as the Melbourne lane-ways, in that there is a designated section of the campus where graffiti is allowed and even encouraged.
The next stop was the Law School and the Law Library. I got a quick photo in order to remember the place, though with the amount of time I spent in this room towards the end of the last semester, I doubt I'll forget it in a hurry.
I also took the opportunity to show Kerry around some other parts of the campus, taking in the sports fields, the swimming pool, the tennis courts and eventually stopping by the campus shop. I had finally decided to purchase my Sydney University jumper, a little keepsake of my time studying here. Although I don't have a Glasgow University jumper, I suspect one shall be purchased before I graduate. On our way home, we did some more shopping in the Broadway Shopping Centre, then it was time to head home, sort dinner and watch Masterchef.
The plan for the following day was to meet Jessica at Circular Quay and take the short ferry journey over to Cockatoo Island. The island was originally a prison for convicts (as so much of Australia seems to have been) before it was turned into an industrial port, then finally became the modern tourist attraction that can be found there today. Whilst the island undoubtedly contains some amazing history, much of it is left to your own imagination as you're left to wander around the warehouses, buildings and prison blocks rather aimlessly. It was still interesting to see, though it was far from one of the most engaging things which I've visited.
The island has two large tunnels which run beneath the rock, creating something which looks like it belongs in a James Bond film. Rather cool, though pretty much unexplained.
Jessica and Kerry posing for a photo. We did actually see some weird photo-shoot going on whilst we were visiting the island; it was quite a peculiar setting for it, I thought.
After wandering around most of the island, we stopped off at a little takeaway place for lunch. Jessica and I both had this fantastic creamy Thai chicken soup - it was genuinely brilliant. Without a lot more to see on the island, we relaxed in the sun for a while and then hopped on the ferry back towards Circular Quay. Almost everywhere you go in Sydney affords a great view, but the city skyline is arguably best seen from the water.
We disembarked the boat at Darling Harbour and walked the rest of the way to Circular Quay. Conscious that the time in Australia was running out for all of us, we were trying to make sure we hadn't missed anything out. So, since we hadn't walked this particular part of the harbour before, we thought it would be good to see another little section of the city. Our walk eventually took us to Observatory Hill Park, providing another great perspective on the Harbour Bridge. Our stay was short-lived however because there was a dog wandering around near us. Kerry told Jessica that it was, "one of those dogs that kills people" and that was the decision made. I just shook my head in disbelief.
The final stop of the day was at the Guylian chocolate cafe on Circular Quay. We opted for hot chocolates and a selection of cakes. I think the chocolate eclair was the outstanding favourite.
The following day Kerry and I headed off to Taronga Zoo. Although I had visited the zoo with Alex, Jessica and Jordan, way back in the first few weeks of my time in Sydney, I was really looking forward to going again. First time around we had missed a few enclosures out since we'd been in a bit of a rush and hadn't managed to see any of the shows at all. Whilst I had since seen crocodiles up in Cairns, they were undoubtedly my most anticipated animal at the zoo and they did not disappoint, as this next photo shows.
Funnily enough, whilst snapping photos of the crocodile in the photo above, I overheard a woman confidently stating to her friend that it was just a fake. Interesting that when we walked by the same place later in the day, that same "fake" crocodile had moved! We also went to see the seal show, which was pretty good, if only to get a seat in the sunshine for half an hour. After the seal show, I had one of those strange experiences which you could hardly make up. Whilst queuing for an ice cream, I was approached by Jake - a guy I know from school - who had arrived in Australia a few days earlier, to start his own backpacking adventure.
On our way out of the zoo, we stopped by the same spot where I had captured some great photos almost an entire twelve months ago. Kerry posed for some pictures with the sun setting and the city skyline in the background.
She took over camera duties and I showed her how to pose at a nice location properly! Haha!
Here is one of many photos of the Opera House which have been taken over the past year. I genuinely think I take a picture each and every time I see it, though who can blame me? I hope Alex and Jordan are proud of my photography skills being displayed in this picture.
We returned to the flat and got ready to make dinner. Luckily, our dinner planning process was interrupted by a much better offer to join the girls and head out to the local Singaporean restaurant. Kerry was keen to try dim sum in Australia, having eaten it at home and really enjoyed it. I had never tried it before, but it sounded good and I really couldn't be bothered cooking. So, Kerry and I joined Jess, Lian, Claire, Anoucha and Lin for a lovely meal before heading home to watch Masterchef together. Another busy day over.
On Thursday, I had booked tickets to go whale watching for myself, Kerry and Jessica. We were typically running just on time and arrived at the wharf around ten minutes before the boat was due to depart. Plenty time to spare! We knew the risks of seasickness and Lian had warned us that it had been awful when she'd been on the same cruise, so we'd all had light breakfasts, complemented by travel sickness tablets. The trip started off fantastically, on a glorious sunny, calm day and the sail from Circular Quay out to the heads of the harbour was rather enjoyable. However, upon turning out of the harbour and into the open sea, the swell picked up dramatically. Given Jessica's history with boats in Cairns and my own inability to deal with the Dover-Calais ferry, I was slightly concerned. As it turned out, it was neither of us who were sick, but actually Kerry. I should point out that she was far from alone though, as it seemed to strike the majority of people on board.
That issue aside, the whales were absolutely amazing! They were quite difficult to capture in a photo, but I do have some good videos. Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to attach videos to the blog, so I can't share them. Pictures shall have to suffice for the moment.
The plan for the next day was to visit the aquarium at Darling Harbour. After a fairly lazy morning and breakfast, Kerry and I caught the free bus down George Street and took the short walk to the aquarium. Again, due to school holidays, the place was super busy and full of little kids, running around and shouting. Unfortunately, it wasn't too easy to see the fish and sea creatures very easily, though it was still enjoyable. As expected, the underwater tunnel beneath the shark tank proved to be the highlight of our visit. We squeezed in some more shopping in the Queen Victoria Buildings on our way home, in the afternoon.
At night, we had planned a dinner amongst all of my flatmates. We had tried to book a table at Hurricane's, but apparently they don't take reservations, so Lian and two of her friends who were in Sydney visiting went along and essentially got us a place in the queue. The rest of us joined them later and we were soon shown to a table. Dinner was awesome again; we ordered a few whole racks of ribs and put them in the middle of the table for everyone to share and it was just as good as I remembered. Instead of dessert, we walked home via Chinatown where we got some cream puffs from the little takeaway place. They're basically just hot balls of pastry filled with a cream or custard filling - I'm not really sure to be honest. Regardless, they're fantastic and so cheap! We had a real issue too, since the more you buy, the cheaper the price per cream puff becomes. We ended up buying something stupid, like fifteen or so. It was ridiculous.
Saturday the 5th of July marked one week since Kerry had arrived in Australia. I was really looking forward to it too, since we had finally booked a tour of the Opera House. We were shown around several of the theatres (including one where Coldplay recorded one of their albums - booooo!) and also got a glimpse of the workings of the backstage crews.
The front part of the Opera House is designed to give the impression that you are standing on a ship, overlooking the harbour. It certainly achieved that result.
Here's a rather artistic photo of two of the sails from inside the Opera House. Ignore the bloke's head at the bottom.
During the night on Saturday, I got up and watched the Netherlands quarter final tie in the World Cup against Costa Rica. Rather brilliantly, after a stroke of managerial genius by Louis van Gaal in bringing on a different goalkeeper for the penalty shootout, they qualified for the semi finals. Having been up half the night, a long lie was well in order before there was any consideration of activities for the day.
Kerry and I decided to organise a packed lunch and walk across the Harbour Bridge. It was another great day - Kerry was far luckier with the weather than my mum and Auntie Jean when they visited - and we got some more great photos on our walk.
Lunch was enjoyed on the north side of the harbour and we followed that with a walk around Luna Park and the Olympic swimming pool. Having shown Kerry around some more of the tourist spots, we retraced our steps back across the bridge and headed for the Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay. Much like MONA in Hobart, the random pieces of "art" proved to be a mystery to me. I just didn't appreciate the majority of them in the slightest. Take these slippers in the next picture, for example; they were supposed to have some profound meaning and message behind them. Talk me through that.
There was one really cool room which was painted in big blocks of colour. Kerry posed for a picture and got in trouble for leaning on the wall - clearly, her modern art etiquette left a lot to be desired.

I got up early on Monday morning and watched some of the World Cup highlights from the previous night whilst I ate breakfast. Kerry got up not long afterwards and had a shower, but soon decided that she was feeling pretty awful and would be staying in bed for the day. A hot water bottle and pain killers were retrieved from the local pharmacy and I began some household chores as she went back to bed. Most of my day was spent relaxing in the flat and watching TV though I did make myself and Kerry some lunch in the afternoon, which was well received.

We decided to walk around to the Botanic Gardens to have lunch and chill in the sunshine for a while. Gladly, Kerry was back to normal and had some food and we were soon joking about how much she had enjoyed her Christmas present!

After our tour, we tried to get a table for lunch at Opera Bar, though quickly wrote that idea off after seeing how busy the place was. Instead, we walked around Circular Quay and found a table at the Glenmore pub in the Rocks. Jessica and I had been there before, though unfortunately this time, all of the tables in the rooftop beer garden were occupied. The food was really good though and it was a chilled way to spend the afternoon. Later in the evening, Jessica, Kerry and I met up with Alex for a bit of a farewell drink at the Morrison. The Morrison was the scene of so many nights consisting of wine and oysters when we first arrived in Sydney that it felt appropriate to go back one last time. Alex was heading off up the Gold Coast the next morning with his girlfriend and Jessica only had a few days left before her flight back to Scotland, so it really marked the beginning of a long period of goodbyes.
That night after dinner, one of the Harry Potter films was on TV. I was shocked and reduced to tears of laughter upon spotting Dave Coaches from Gavin and Stacey in the Ministry of Magic! Hahaha! He's not even dressed differently!
During the night on Saturday, I got up and watched the Netherlands quarter final tie in the World Cup against Costa Rica.
