Throughout the next three days we found plenty of time in the beautiful weather to explore all around the city.  I took a tour of the opera house, and learned about the struggle to build it.  I was able to go to Bondi and Manly beach, I preferred Manly beach as it wasn’t as touristy and we had better weather when I visited.  I enjoyed walking around the old part of the city.  Everything was very clean and I never felt unsafe walking around.   

Some of the most beautiful parts of Sydney were the Royal Botanical Gardens surrounding the city.  I was able to go out to the rocks and view the sunset over the Sydney Harbor with the opera house and bridge views.  I spent a few hours walking around the gardens as there is so much to see and many great views of the city and of the harbor.

On the last two days I went to the aquarium, which was neat because you were able to walk underneath the aquarium and get some great pictures of the various marine life.  I also the toured the National Maritime Museum which was directly across from the aquarium in Darling Harbor which is a really great to just take it easy and view the scenery.  We also toured a Chinese Garden in the center of Sydney, which was a real relaxing place to go in the middle of the city.  I walked many blocks down St. George’s street which is similar to Broadway in New York as it is a very busy and fashionable main artery in the city. 

I would highly recommend going to Sydney if you get the chance, I really enjoyed my time and even though I had 4 days, I didn’t get to see all that I would have liked.
