Every morning, Inn Cairns gives me a complimentary copy of the local newspaper, The Cairns Post.  This morning, while I had my coffee I read the news that they caught a 4.3m crocodile in Cairns region. By the photos, it was rude. They even have a phone number to receive calls in case someone sees a croc around…

Here is forbidden smoking in almost everywhere. Even on the beach there is a no smoking sign.

An evening at Sydney Opera House is a “must” to do in town. I went to see Natalie Cole and Sydney Symphony Opera House. I loved it… good music and beautiful place.

My arrival in Australia was ”errante” (errant), I landed in Sydney and had no idea of what I was going to do this month, I had no hotel booked neither a planned itinerary. The first thing I did was to by a SIM card for my mobile, so I could connect to the internet and call places. I sat in a cafe at the airport and planned my first days. Then, headed to town.

Sydney was rainy. I walked a lot under the rain, but after a while, being wet and the jet leg (18 hours from San Francisco and 13 hours from Salvador) made me feel very tired.

I enjoyed my first day walking around Darling Harbour and the Chinese Garden and preparing my trip for the next weeks. Sydney was a start, but I will be back by the end of the month to better visit the city.
