One just cannot take too many pictures of Sydney harbor, the Opera House, the Sydney Harbor Bridge and quays. Today we witnessed another couple of angles. Our most adept tour guide, Matt spent the first half of our free day making sure we had the opportunity for new exploration. He took us on the Sydney tram across the quay to walk back on the harbor bridge. Brilliant! It was so cool and did not cost a cent. For a about $300 AUD you can climb to the top of the bridge. It is exceedingly high and a bit spendy. We had quite nice view from the footpath and a very doable elevation. He took us to the nearby art museum to the cafe for another outstanding view of the harbor .... when there is not a cruise ship in port... like there was today. Oh well, it was a beautiful day to see the bridge. :)
From there we all scattered to our own experiences of this interesting city. Candace, Brenda and I chose a walking tour. So much history from the origins of this city built by convicts. 23,907 steps later, chose to let Candace and Brenda go shopping while I retired to the nearest pub to quench that powerful thirst we worked up.
Tonight our farewell dinner. So appreciative of each person in this travel group. One could not have asked for better travel companions. Our guide, Matt, was the best guide to date. Feel most grateful to have had this good fortune for his skillful guidance and a most excellent group. Keep traveling and continue your curiosity of this world.
AMAZING!!
