Our New Apartment!!!

So Chris and I found an apartment yesterday and we signed the lease this morning over a cup of cappuccino! (Soy cappuccino for me). Turns out they don't just have regular "drip" coffee around here. Everything is espresso based. Delicious nonetheless!

The apartment is TINY, and when I say TINY... I mean NY apartments look HUGE compared to this. However, it's in a neighborhood called Potts Point which is EXACTLY where we wanted to live!

Type in the following address: 1 McDonald St, Potts Point, NSW 2011.

It's this adorable neighborhood with great cafes, pubs, shops, grocery store (Woolworth's), great parks and great views of the harbor. Our apartment is in a 9 story building (we're on the 8th floor), and our view is UNREAL! We can see the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and downtown city. That's what sold us!

So one interesting thing we found while looking for apartments is that when it says "unfurnished" that actually means that there is no refrigerator. Very weird. So Chris and I will be buying a new refrigerator in the very near future... Go figure!

We spent the day at Manly Beach today which is a little North of Sydney. We'll post more pictures later of that venture!

Thank goodness Chris is willing to drive on the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD! AHHHHH!
