It's odd seeing Italians who have some of the most stunning views in the world in their own country, getting excited and loving the views in Sydney. Great to see other people appreciating Sydney's beauty. Welcome to Australia.
Thank you! ❤️
You can properly tell Australia is beautiful then because we are loving it. And as you said we have good things to compare with back home 😅
Your handle looks Italian also, do you come from Italy as well? 🤩
I love watching videos made by visitors, we locals pass by these places so often we can forgot how beautiful and special they are, then a traveller sees it with fresh eyes and we’re reminded. I hope you have a wonderful time here all over Australia and the memories of Sydney bring smiles to your faces for years to come
Thank you 🥹 they sure will because we had a wonderful time in Sydney! You live in a wonderful city 😍
As an Aussie travelling to other countries and experiencing the quality of sand on their beaches was a shock. Bondi is famous and beautiful & would still not rate anywhere near the top of most Aussies favourite beaches. There are so many more spectacular ones with softer, whiter sand and barely another soul on them. Hope you get to see some of them too.
That seems like a dream.. for sure we’ll come back to explore more of your stunning Australia 😍
Your joy is contagious.
Awww 🥹 thank you 😍 this fills our heart ❤️
@@matandangie No worries. Your reactions always lift my spirits with your sheer enthusiasm. So good.
There are way better places to get coffee than Starbucks, like any coffe shop in the country 😂 Glad you're both enjoying yourself in Aus, your excitement is infectious 😁
Thank you Jackie! 😍
I'm sure there are better coffee options, the fact is that many smaller coffee shops close very early and Starbucks is just the easiest option. For example in Perth (we showed in the vlog of Perth as well) we couldn't find a coffee shop open after 3pm, plus coffee was very expensive in those smaller shops and sometimes they don't even offer wifi, so it's kind of odd to get work done in those (maybe also because they have less seating area)
@matandangie yes, that's fair. It can be hard to find a cafe open after 3pm. It'd just be a shame to miss out on some great coffee. Obviously, you do what suits you 😊
You both look so happy. As a Sydneysider I often do the Bondi to Coogee walk and feel quite inadequate as people do their daily run past me. So fit ! Tamarama Beach has a very strong rip so be very careful swimming there. Also there is a seal called Benny who likes to sunbake on the northern steps (Harbourside) of the Opera House). I think you would like the Paddington/ Surrey Hills area of Sydney too.
Us the same 😅 everyone was so fit and running on the coastal walk!
We didn’t even try jumping into the sea cause the waves were so high 🤩
Uhhh Angie would have loved to see a seal 🥹
The hostel we stayed at was in Surrey Hills, so lovely area!
Didn't you see the Melbourne Botanic Gardens? That's my favourite. 😊
Not yet! But we are adding it to our bucket list if you recommend it! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Such a sweet happy couple showing Australia 😊
Thank you 😍😍❤️
Thanks for another great video Mat and Angie. The beach looks most inviting.
Awww Hank 🤩 Thank you so much 🥹 the sunrise at Bronte was probably one of the best of our lives 😍
It was a pleasant surprise stumbling into your vlog. Enjoy your tour in Sydney. ❤ Keep spreading good vibes ✨
Aaaawww 🥹 glad you found us! We’ll keep spreading happiness and joy! This is a promise 🫶
Your reactions are just great.
Awww 🥹 thank you so much 🥹 🫶
I'm new here and your videos are first class. Can't wait to dive into the rest of them. At some point the CZcams algorithm will catch on, and your subscriber number will go through the roof, I'm convinced of it.
Awww 🥹 thank you so much 🫶 your words mean a ton to us! We really appreciate your comment 😍 we are so happy to have you here 🫶
Yay! City life. Enjoy.
Thank you 🫶 Sydney is such a vibrant city 🤩
Just came across this amazing video! Love your positive vibes, your beautifully edited video, the stunning sunrise! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you for visiting our beautiful city of Sydney! Enjoy the rest of your time in Australia!
Thank you so much for all the compliments 🥹😍 we loved Sydney! There’s another video about it coming on Thursday.. less visiting and more eating 🤪
Well done ladies. You did yourself and Sydney proud.
Thank you so much 😍 such a nice compliment 🫶
Sydney is just beautiful! The coastal walk you did was beautiful. I’ve only really done the Bondi part. I love the Sydney ferries. I liked the tour of the Adelaide botanical gardens and we are going to Adelaide in a couple of months as I thought your video was great! Great video!
Thank you Catherine 🥹
The whole walk was so pretty 😍
I’m sure you’ll love Adelaide 🥳
Great job girls, showing this area! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😍
Enjoy it all
Thanks 🥹
A lovely video, enjoy your stay and have a safe journey in Oz 👍 nsw
Thank you so much 😍
I love your infectious joy of life.
Glad you enjoyed my home town seemingly as much as I loved your stunning home country. The Bondi walk is stunning but nowhere close to the Cinque Terre walk.
Thank you 🥹😍
Really?!? The grass is always greener on the other side right? 😅 cause we didn’t love Cinque Terre that much and the Bondi walk was stunning instead 🤩
But for sure it is because we both were born pretty near to 5 Terre! Anyway if you’ll come back to Italy we have a list of places that will put 5 terre down on your list of favorite places! Let us know if you plan to go back 😍
Welcome to Sydney great to have you girls here
Thank you ❤️ Sydney is just so great 🫶
That is a girl
Wow so impressed you mentioned the fight to save The Rocks by Jack Mundey and the BLF Union! Solidarity!! ✊
Thank you ☺️ It’s always beautiful learning more about the history of the cities 🫶
@@matandangie be sure to visit the MCA and Museum of Sydney at Circular Quay (pronounced "kee"),, and the Australian Museum in College St. St Mary's Cathedral has tours as well... Ciao Bellas!
My nephew went to Italy last European summer, to visit his fiancée's family, and whilst he loved Italy overall, he said one thing he really missed about Sydney was the beaches. He basically covered Naples to Rome, before heading off to the UK.
I can totally understand.. Italy has stunning little beaches (we call them “baie”) and also what could be stunning long beaches but the problem with those is that they’re “private” and the wild aspect is so ruined 😖
Bravissime le mie bimbe
❤ bellissimo 😮
Grazieeee ❤️
Please visit the Royal National Park and do the coastal walk Wattamolla to Garie beach . The views are insane . Bundeena to Big Marley Beach is another stunning coastal walk of Sydney . Thank you for your beautiful video of Sydney . Keep smiling because your smiles are so precious.
Thank you Louisa! We’ll write these down for our next trip here in Sydney! Local tips are always so helpful ❤️
Thanks for the smiling part, your country is too beautiful not to be smiling!
Welcome to Sydney
Thank you 🥹❤️
hi girls, thank you for visiting us. ENJOY OUR little paradise and please take care... Cheers, have fun
Thank you so much 🤩 Sydney is such a great city! We loved it 🫶
U don't need to pay the exuberant prices to climb on the Sydney Harbor bridge u can walk across it for free, or even take the steps up to the pylon which is 200 steps I believe and its a small charge for that around the $ 30 mark. Thanx again for sharing your video and safe and happy travels.
That’s actually so cool to know! Thanks for sharing we didn’t know that 😅 glad you pointed it out 🙌
Welcome.... Enjoy.
Thank you 🤩 we loved Sydney 🥹
I'm an Adekaide native and i love Sydney especially Bondi & Manly Beach, my other favourite city is Melbourne but sadly have no interest in Perth.
We are liking all of them, they are so different from what we are used to! 🤩
@@matandangie I'm off to live in Norway from mid next year.
I went to Sydney to visit the Opera House, but Opera wasn't home, so I sought to ride the Monorail but wasn't one.
Mat and you could be best friends.. 😂
@@matandangie🙂🙂 Agree.
You've nailed it.
Starbucks! How UN Italian...lol😂😂😂😂
LOL 😅 that’s true! But sometimes we like the Starbucks’ iced coffee ☕️
Avoid Starbucks. Any cafe will always have great coffee!
Lol. I remember going to McDonalds in Hong Kong and Malaysia after extended travel just for a bit of American life.
Thank you for the advice 🤩 we’ll definitely do ☕️
LOL Annew! As soon as we find a GOOD Italian pizzeria we have to go there🍕 So we can definitely understand your point 🤣
you ladies are gorgeous and welcome to Sydney.word of advise stay out of Starbucks. here in Australia you will get the best coffee in the world in most cafes and we thank you Italians for bringing it to Australia generations ago.
Thank you 🥹 and thanks for the tip! Is there a chain of cafes you would recommend us to try? We’re heading to another big city and we would definitely benefit such a recommendation 😍
No recommendations . Just know that Australians take their coffee very seriously. We don’t like coffee chains . You will get an amazing coffee almost everywhere. I am serious. From a surf club on the beach to the middle of Australia you will have amazing coffee . Most cafes do a takeaway coffee. Enjoy and stay out of Starbucks so you truly discover Australia.
What city are you heading to now ?
No beaches like Australia in Italy.
Bondi is pronounced Bond-eye. Hope you loved my city. 😎
WE LOVED SYDNEY 🤩 but for sure we have to learn how to pronunce the places 😂
@@matandangiealso circular quay is pronounced key
No…it’s Bond-EEE…
@@kallekas8551 no it's Bond eye where you from?
@@dangermouse3619 Lane Cove… pronounced Lah neigh Curve eh.
Circular Quay the Quay is pronounced Key. You got Circular right 😜
AHAHAHAH at least there's something right 😅😂😂
The 2 happiest people on planet earth. Enjoy your trip sounds silly because you obviously are
I don’t think their trip sounds silly and they are definitely not silly- I really enjoyed the reaction they seem like such lovely people
Thank you 🥹😍
Thanks ❤️
@@Dr_KAP They aren't silly. The "enjoy your trip" sounds like a silly thing to write because they are.
@@dalewyatt1321 I still don’t get it lol I maybe missed something but I’ll take your word for it ! You said they aren’t silly but also said it sounds like a silly thing to write because they are. Who are they ?
Why did you never come to Melbourne?
We are in Melbourne now (spoiler 🤪)
Nice 👍 Welcome to Melbourne... The best coffee & vegan food around... You'll love it
@@matandangieif you’re still here and have time to get out of the city try Wilson’s Promontory and the hot springs at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula. Also get yourself to Lygon St if you want a taste of home.
Ladies...Starbucks? Come on. Sydney coffee is as good as any in Australia. But Starbucks? No. You can do a lot better.
The Italian migrants brought us coffee and we now have the best coffee in the world, Starbucks is an American chain which most locals avoid.
@@richardwilliamson9763here’s one that will upset the Melbourne. A panel of world experts have ranked cities of the world with the best coffee. Sydney came in at number 3, Melbourne came in at 10. Sorry Melbourne lol
Thanks for explaining!
Where was Italy? 🤩🙌
Sorry for disappointing!
We are open to budget friendly cafe recommendations! When we grab a coffee we also like to have WiFi and places that do not close at 5pm 😅
We had a hard time finding such a place back in Perth, so we are curious to know where Australians go when looking for a good coffee and those deliverables 📝
Please let us know, cause we are heading to another big city and we would benefit such an info!
I was onboard until Starbucks. 😢What an insult to the proud Coffee Culture of Australia. Sydney's Starbucks is only there for tourists, usually American. "Shitbucks" was unsuccessful in Australia.
sorry to disappoint, we've already said in other comments that it's been difficult for us to find Australian coffee shops open decent hours (not closing at 3pm) with good wifi which allow customers to stay even a bit longer than the coffee drinking itself plus not crazily priced.. I know we have many requests, but if you know such a place give us all the recommendations please 😍
@@matandangie Code Black in Brunswick Melbourne is my local.... I've never had the issue of not being able to get good ☕ in Australia. Pubs have Espresso Machines, hell, even McCafe employs good Baristas and offers oat/almond Milk.... Perhaps this is only in Oz 🇦🇺?
Sydney sux…actually just the people…
You think so? We actually met only nice humans in Sydney 😅
@@matandangie Maybe I’m just a snob…going back to Scandinavia next year after 46 years…enjoy!❤️
