Sydney City Tour


Having been in Oz for nearly 3 weeks, we thought it was about time for us to use up some shoe leather and cruise into Sydney city centre....

We've both been lucky enough to have been to Sydney twice before ( never at the same time !), but even so, it's hard to resist the lure of the harbour. And even though I know it's only a scaled and tarted up version of the Tyne Bridge in the 'Toon, the Harbour Bridge is still a magnificent sight. And then there's the Opera House, though in this case somebody seems to have erected a 800ft statue of Athena in the way which was most inconvenient for the other tourists .....

I could waffle on about what we did for the rest of the day, but other than the great old pubs in the Rocks, it doesn't really compare to the harbour, so I'm not going to attempt to jazz it up.

Just in case you're unsure about which is our favourite bit of the city, here's some video...
