Hotel Hoffman is officially open for business, taking reservations through email or my old cell phone number (now rings to my apartment phone here). It's located a short 25 minute walk to the Opera house and Darling Harbour, 10 minute ride to some great beaches and a 10 minute walk to some of the best restaurants in Sydney (or so the locals say, I can't vouch for all of them yet). Room service is limited, but with the small farmers market outside on Saturdays it will have fresh, local food. Pictures will be posted later this week.
I did do a little venturing out a few weekends ago and went up to Watson's Bay to do some walking around. Watson's Bay is right on the head of Sydney connecting the ocean to Sydney Harbour. It's a quick ferry ride from Circular Quay through the harbour, which was quite a nice view of the shoreline (and the houses that line the shorelines).
Once I got up to Watson's Bay I grabbed some fish and chips and then walked around for a bit. There was a great view back to the city as well as the jagged cliffs along the shore.
Today was the coldest day in Sydney over the past few years (a brisk 41 degrees) so I'll have to hold off on the bridge climb until it starts to warm up.
I have a few more pictures, but I'll post them on my flickr site later this week (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbhoffman/).
