We have been in Sydney for a few days now, after our near fifteen hour flight from Vancouver, our first hotel was in the downtown area. A twenty minute walk took us into the heart of the all the action and to the classic Sydney tourist locations. On the first afternoon in the rain, we made a beeline for the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House - both were amazing places to visit and photos don't quite do them justice. Also en-route we toured through Hyde Park and Botanical Gardens.
Day two involved a significant amount of walking and utilizing public transport, especially the harbour ferries. The sunshine broke out so it was ideal to see the Darling Harbour area, including Dragon Boat racing, The Rocks market, the Observatory (situated on a hill with an exceptional view of the bridge). We then took a ferry over to Manly to chill by the beach. Sunday involved a relaxing morning, followed by another ferry ride to Watson's Bay, which is recognised as Australia's oldest fishing village, having been established in 1788. We toured along the cliff-side walk for views back to Sydney city centre and out to the ocean - Sam slept through most of this.
Next stop is Bondi Beach, where we have an apartment booked for three days and I will post again with more photos.
