A few photos from around Sydney. Our Hotel is very close to the Botanic Garden, and not far from the Opera House and Circular Quay. We have now mastered public transport and used buses and tube to get around.
Sunday we had dinner with Byron and Belinda, a 40-yo couple who were on their honeymoon when we met them 2 years ago on our kayak tour in BC. Byron has a well-known radio host, and Belinda works for HP as program manager. (that is not Byron on the left)It was a very enjoyable dinner, and they were very amused by all the "unconventional" knowledge of Oz Nan has acquired reading Bryson's "Sun Burnt Country". They assured us we would probable never see a snake, and that death by crocodile is very rare.
Monday Byron took us for a tour of some beautiful locations on the north side of Sydney harbor, including Manley Beach, North Head overlooking the harbor and the Pacific, and remarkable view of Sydney from the base of the Harbor Bridge.
The forecast for today is rain, but at 7 AM the sky is brilliant blue.
