Hello Sydney Australia - Let's go downtown - September 29 - October 2

We slept quite well in our new AirBnB.  After breakfast and a rough plan we hit the road.  We needed to buy cell phone sims and a gps for our future Jucy rental.  I had an idea of a fee locations to hit.  We are very fortunate that our AirBnB is a 10 minute walk to a train station.  A very helpful staff member (actually a cleaner guy) saw we were struggling and gave us tonnes of pointers of how to get around and what to consider seeing.  Holy moly he was nice.  I hope to be able to thank him with a gift today.  As this is a huge city, they have a huge train system and it takes a bit getting used to.  Once downtown we found out stores, got our stuff and made our way to the Aquarium.  Holy crap the crowds.  No way we are standing in line for hours to stand in line for more hours inside.  We decided to walk around find a reasonable lunch (challenging) and see where the wind blows us.  It was a tonne of walking (which I need) and very picturesque. The weather was perfect.

It's best to get a travel card called an Opel.  You tap on and off, super convenient

Nice stations here wow,

Noticed a nice design outside the Town Hall station

The architecture here is pretty impressive

This one two.  Wow

We got lucky as this was the location of JB Hi Fi a cool media and electronic store

It took a while to find something not $35 for lunch.

Cool sculptures

The Barbour had a crazy number of boats.  This had to be the coolest 

The past of town is in the midst of a reno.  These were cut (from somewhere) and inserted.

Kinda cool, hope where they came from is not too damaged.

On the edge of the reconstruction as you see

The bridge, it's big

Someone snuck up on me

An again, that's the Opera house

Cruise ship.  Yay lot's of people buying fancy stuff

I had enough of the crowds.  Needed some nature

Okay back in business.  The opera house from like 100 different angles

This dock is cool.  It floats and is held in place with big rubber stopper

That's Michelle looking up

That's the sea reflecting on the glass

Oh at night they play a nice media presentation outside.

It was really nice

Off to bed, we are baked
