Sydney , Australia

Last Friday morning we were passing very early in the morning Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge at sun rise to get our place at the center of everything, at the quay of the Rocks. I started my own tour on the streets of Rocks to find the Billich Gallery, where I did buy 1998 some beautiful graphics of women bodies with personal greetings of the artist Mr. Billich himself. I found their new much bigger gallery of three storeys, the whole old house. Mr. Billich was in China, where he is very succesful being the official artist of Beijing 2008 Olympics. His exhibition was marvellous but so were the prices too. He is at moment one of the most famous painters of contemporary art in Australia.
I then enjoyed a pint of beer at a local German restaurant, walked to the other side of the bay to visit the Opera house. I took some pictures before stopping in a nearby
harbourview restaurant for excellent oysters and vine.
Later I decided to take a ferry to Darling Harbour. When waiting for the ferry and later at the ferry I was talking with two very beautiful young girls from Sweden, Lisa and Mimmi, whose roots were in Porvoo, Finland.
When strolling in Darling I was invited to join in a bunch of young people in their thirties, and one lady said "yksi, kaksi, kolme" 1,2,3 in Finnish and I did ansver "ett, tva, tre" in Swedish the same. And she really was orginally from Sweden but living 14 years in Sydney.
Later on board at the Globe bar ( my favourit ) I got company of two younger Australian couples from Adelaide, who wanted me to celebrate with them the birthday of one of the ladies. We had a happy dancing night, the best on the trip until now.
