Lets Go Sydney

Although there is little time difference between NZ and Oz the couple of hours difference means we are up and about quite early.  This is lucky as we have another action packed day ahead.

First up we head off through TheRocks to Circular Quay and on to the Opera House.  We pop in to see if there are any last minute tickets available for a show tonight and pick up a couple of tickets to see the play Signs of Life tonight.

From the Opera House we wander round the harbour side to the Botanic Gardens and grab a reviving cuppa as it is already pretty hot, before heading back through town to Circular Quay.

At Circular Quay we jump onto a harbour cruise which is a great way to spend a couple of hours getting our bearings cruising round the harbour.  We see lots of very nice neighbourhoods of Sydney, yachts racing in the harbour and also some great views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Then we pop back to the B&B to freshen up before grabbing a quick bite to eat in The Rocks and then onto see our play in the Opera House.

It’s been an action packed day but as we head to bed we decide we already really like Sydney as it is a bit like a cross between Hong Kong and Wellington.
