Singapore

March 11, 2009 by travelwithiman

We flew from Sydney sunday evening and 10 hours later we landed in Singapore. Tired and slightly hang-overed we checked in and fell asleep immediately. Waking up the morning after, and the rain was pouring outside the window. It continued the rest of the day and it even got worse. So we decided to have a relaxed day and stay inside and just work, go to the Spa and eat a good meal. Next day we had to compromise for the laziness and hit town:

Meeting up with Stan and Petra

March 9, 2009 by travelwithiman

Stanley and Petra (friends from Malta) is here in Sydney so we met up with them. Tonight is the big Gay-Pride Festival so we didn’t wanna miss that. We went to a party with them and had really fun. Afterwards we were strolling around in the chaotic city filled with very drunk people : )

Manly

Manly is about 30 minutes away from the Zoo and we went there to have lunch, look around and have a walk on the beach. The atmosphere was very laid back and crowd was very young.

Ferry trip

March 9, 2009 by travelwithiman

We took the Ferry to go to the Zoo and the view from the water was so nice. You really get a great picture of Sydney from the water. The weather was great, the sun shining and the smell of sea can lift up any day:

Great view of the Opera house from different angles:

Not the kind of beach you expect to find in a big city:
