"G'day Mate",
Arrived safely here in Sydney, a beautiful and big city. Got to the hotel before check-in time, so checked the luggage and went for a walk and saw the biggest landmark, the Sydney Tower. Took the elevator to the outlook level and had a 360 degree panoramic view of the city skyline including Sydney Harbour, Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park and so many other interesting sites. Incidentally, the kangaroo photo above is stock photography while the city shot is a panoramic photo taken with our camera.
Had a nap later in the afternoon then went out for something to eat. Was not sure it I was on daytime, nighttime or whatever time. LOL
After a good night sleep and plenty of coffee in the hotel room, going exploring today. Sydney has an excellent transit system and you can buy a pass, daily, weekly, etc. that will provide access to the entire system. This includes regular transit buses, plus a "hop on hop off" bus system for the entire city as well as Bondi Beach, and the entire ferry system. Very excited to have the first full day in Sydney.
More soon.
Bye for now.
Michael
