The hotel was very near to Darling harbour, which was perfect, unfortunately it was very expensive.... In fact EVERYTHING was very expensive....and it rained!
I think the travelling had got to us because we did not see Sydney in the same light as our previous visit, but after a good nights sleep we felt much better.
We spent the day visiting the aquarium and animal world at Darling harbour .Both were great and anyone new in Aus should visit both before exploring the country further. In the evening we were lucky to see one of the best firework displays ever. We were back 'in love' with Sydney.
On Sunday we climbed the 'tower' for some spectacular views, before walking to Victoria park. This is one of the best parks in the world. It has wonderful views of the opera house and bridge, and has lots of wildlife such as fruit bats and sulpher crested cockatoos. We then caught the ferry to Manly which was really not worth the effort as it was a pretty miserable place. This day was also very difficult for Carole as she was still suffering from the after-effects of her food poisonning, which was more serious than we had thought. This meant that we had to fit in a visit to the hospital and a doctors...what a busy day!
Our last day was spent at the zoo, if fact, one of the best zoos we have ever seen. We ran out of time.... OK! we like wildlife and this was the best place to see what Australia had to offer.
The evening was spent at a food market in the park, a real social event, with truly international food and fruit bats flying overhead..
