Sydney, New South Wales, Australia





Sydney is fantastic! We are having a great time getting around the city. We are staying about 40 miles or so out of the city, so we take a bus to the train station, and then about a 40 min. train ride right to Circular Quay, right on the majestic Sydney Harbor. We have taken two days of bus tours around the city and out to many of the beautiful beach areas. It has been wonderful. We took a tour of the amazing Sydney Opera House and saw Harry Connick Jr. and his big band last night in the main concert hall. Great seats, great sound, great show. We left the theatre to fireworks over the harbor. PERFECT DAY”! Today we go back in to try and do all of the other things on our list: walk across the Sydney Bridge, take a harbor cruise, and check out a museum or two. Wish we had more time, as with almost every place we have been, but know how lucky we are to be doing what we are doing.

Tomorrow we head out of town and make a one night stop before getting to our old stomping grounds of Melbourne. We are getting anxious to see our old friends, and see what has changed around the area. Stay tuned to these crazy “old farts”. Hope you are enjoying our adventures.
