We boarded the flight to Sydney without any hick ups. It was a smooth flight and did not take that long. Had to pick up some glasses at the airport 'cos Steve had lost his somewhere in Melbourne. There was enough time to grab some breakkie and buy a new book (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) before boarding the flight.
So after getting off the plane the first thing to notice is that it is much warmer than
Melbourne (Phew). We jumped in a taxis and drove straight to the hotel. Now we knew we would not be able to check in at this time, because it was like 9 am. But they was kind enough to take our bags and put them somewhere safe. We stayed in the Kings Cross are of Sydney. Which was a little scary. Well not scary. Just eye opening. It reminded me of London somewhat.
We had a walk around Kings Cross and got our travel passes. Then jumped on the bus to Central Quay. The home of the Sydney Opera house and great views of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Now I am surprised my camera has done as well as it has. I have thousands of pictures of Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House. I got a little too carried away.
We got all the obligatory shots of us outside Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House. Got a ferry around and under the bridge to Darling Harbor. Walked through the Chinese Gardens. Which was a surprise. I thought it was going to be pretty lame but it was actually really beautiful. After some more walking around and sight seeing we headed back to check in and get ready for the theatre.
