>in less than 24 hours. This evening Sabina and I ventured to Circular Quay in search of the bar made of ice. Minus 5, above the Lenin bar, and is a room kept at around -15C! For $30 you get one cocktail and to spend 30mins in the deep chill admiring the many ice sculptures from dolphins and swans, to the Eiffel Tower and Sydney’s own Opera House – even the furniture is made from ice, as well as the glass in which the cocktail is served (yes, I did eat some of my glass to prove it).

En route we passed by Customs House and saw barriers had been erected and people gathering. Sabina had been speaking with someone in her hostel to find out that the LA Galaxy’s are in town for an exhibition match. Putting two and two together she wanted to hang around to catch a glimpse of this ‘icon’. Two hours later, he finally makes an apperance and she got a photo for posterity. I was glad to be on our way to the pub! :p
