Today we slept in late...8am is late for us! Once we were up and out we met some friends in Darling Harbour for breakfast. Kevin and I used to work with Rachel at Southampton General. Next to Rachel in the above photo is her fiance Dave and her brother Richard. It was great to catch up.
After breakfast we walked to the Sydney tower where we were sent up in a lift taking 40 seconds to reach 250 metres to the observation deck. The 360 degree views were great! This is when we got our first glimpse of Sydneys icons, the Opera House and Harbour bridge.
After our visit to the Sydney tower we walked the route to circular key to get close up views of the bridge and the Opera house.
I know it's a bit of a cliche, but the Opera house really does take your breath way at first sight...it's spectacular soaring shell-like exterior is a must see! The architecture is amazing.
By the time we got here, we were pretty tired, as we had done a fair bit of walking today! So, it was a trip back to Darling Harbour on one of the numerous ferries from Circular quay for a yummy italian dinner!
