In Sydney for the second weekend of the trip. The weather gods are upset with me this weekend - very cold, very wet and very very windy.

So - no fun this weekend either but I did have a relaxing time wandering the streets of Sydney and in the Botanical Gardens and the Domain. Managed to get some Xmas shopping done - anyway :)

Heading back to Singapore today.

Spent the weekend in Melbourne on a business trip. I was going to do some skydiving but the gods of the air were not on my side and that did not work out.

So - I have really spent the weekend wandering around and not doing very much. After shopping and eating - I spent some time relaxing in Fitzroy park - which is a very nice city park with an amazing Conservatory and the actual cottage that Captain Cook's parents built - transported to Melbourne in 1930's (transported - there is a word with a history :).

Nice Place

Someone dangerously asked if I have any diving pictures and since I was posting them on Facebook - I thought that I would go the whole hog.

These are from a trip in 2006 in Tioman.
