Jour 2 à Sydney, nos amis sont venus avec nous en famille pour aller visiter Manly de l'autre côté de l'estuaire. J'ai bien aimé ses bateaux bi-directionnels.

Second day in Sydney, we met up with our friends at Circular Quay (which is not circular) and took a ferry to visit Manly on the other side of the bay. I really liked these push-me-pull-you boats.

Juste pour donner une idée de la taille du pont, il y a des gens qui se promènent dessus (il faut cliquer sur la photo pour voir).

To give an idea of the size of the bridge, there are actually people walking along the top of it (click to see the large version).

Kalia profite de la vue (et d'être à l'abri du vent - il ne faisait pas super chaud à Sydney).

Kalia making the most of the view (in the lee of the boat - the wind was chilly in Sydney).

Avec les ibis, ces sortes de dindes sont très communs en Australie (enfin, le peu qu'on en a vue). Ca m'a frappé que les seuls oiseaux que j'ai remarqué qui m'étais connus d'ici étaient les pigeons et les mouettes.

Ibis are as common there as sparrows here, as are these bush fowl. I was surprised by the fact that the only birds in common with here (from my observation) were pigeons and seagulls.

Luc, Carine, Elona and Joris will be on there way back to Switzerland next year, after spending 3 years at Hillsong.

Nous avons pu assisté à une rencontre à Hillsong. Malheureusement c'était un truc "pour les jeunes" alors les deux personnes à droite dans cette photo ont plutôt souffert que profité :(

We got to go and take part in a service and Hillsong. Unfortunately it was the Saturday evening more youth-oriented service, so several decibels above what the two people on the right of the photo could bear (though we did sit it out 'til the end, fingers in earholes). I honestly think it was in potential hearing damage range.
