A long drive from Melbourne but totally worth the views.

We still got sunny and mild weather despite our winter trip. I really warmed up to Sydney, with it's smart urban vibe and friendliness. It reminded me of all the good things I like about LA. The art museums were mostly free, fantastic Chinatown food and I was very impressed with VIVID Sydney festival and Bondi Beach. Just don't take the red double decker tourist buses, a total rip off and not reliable.

Though the early winter weather was a little dreary, Melbourne lived up to it's fun and hip reputation. I can see why it's always listed as one of the best places to live. The only quibble I have is the architecture, which gave me the sense that it was trying too hard to impress. My favorite discovery is the small retail alleyways in downtown.
