Well i made it to Australia! Have skipped an entry for Singapore - it was very hot and humid with lots of shopping malls and food stalls - will post my photos some time soon.

Been in Sydney since Monday - when i arrived it was rainy cloudy and windy - not what i was expecting!! So my first visit to the harbour and Opera House were wet and cold - well not as cold as home but much cooler than the 30 degree humid heat of Singapore i was used to. I will head back sometime so i can get some photos in the sunshine rather than dull cloud. Got myself a mobile sorted so can be in contact a bit more and less expensively! Yesterday i visited the Museum of Sydney which was interesting and i saw the Ashes - the little urn not acricket match that was on display - but since i'm not too bothered about Cricket - it didn't mean too much to me. Then wandered some more and went to an Art Gallery - so fairly cultural so far. Will probably stay in Sydney for a week or so more then head up the east coast. Will update photos soon.
