13. Sydney

Sunday, 21 OCT 2012

We entered Australia's premier city with just two objectives: reliable high-speed Internet and SIM chips for my iPad and our two mobile phones. We met our first objective at the Apple store, which had pretty good wifi service for free within their walls, and they were able to sell us a Telstra SIM chip for my iPad. There was a Telstra store right across the street, so we went there and bought two chips for our phones. However, the Telstra system that handles the chip activation process was down all day for maintenance, so we had to wait a couple of days until we reached Brisbane where we finally got them activated.

Here is the fabulous iconic Sydney Opera House.

This is the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

People climb it for fun, and for the view.
