SYDNEY HOLIDAY : MARCH 2013
What a great holiday we had in Sydney recently. Firstly because we got really cheap return airfares Melbourne to Sydney saving a bundle then we got a good deal at the hotel / apartment we stayed at - one bedroom with lounge area, full kitchen, bathroom and laundry. We stayed for 5 nights and did all the sights.
We were within about 100 metres of Darling Harbour on the city side and it was a short walk into the main city centre. This was the view from our window
We visited Madame Tussauds where we "met" many celebrities from politics, movies and TV - Julia Gillard, Australian's Prime Minister, was ever so keen to hear my thoughts on governing the country!!!
A ferry ride from Darling Harbour took us around to Circular Quay where we saw the Queen Mary 2 which was berthed and towering over just about everything.
No visit to Sydney can pass without photos of the iconic harbour bridge and the Opera House -
On another day, we took the red double decker bus which is open topped to get to Bondi Beach - the sand is almost white and it was a very hot day.
Another place I enjoyed in Sydney centre was the Queen Victoria building which is beautiful with many shops, but they're designer type stores so I only did some window shopping.
On our last day in Sydney, we visited the Chinese Gardens at Darling Harbour. What a tranquil and peaceful spot in the middle of such a busy city. It's definitely worth a visit especially if you like taking photographs.
Too soon, it was time to fly back to Melbourne after a really lovely time with loads of photos to be developed.
