SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
We arrived to Sydney at 7:30 am and were at our Four Seasons
Hotel by 9 am.
We have the full
day to explore Sydney.

| Sunrise over Australia |
 |
| The Four Seasons is very close to the Harbor |
We first walked to the Sydney Harbor Bridge and climbed up
the inside of one of the support pylons.
The views across the harbor are terrific.
What a beautiful harbor.
We are beginning to think it is the most beautiful
harbor we have ever seen.

| Lots of sailing vessels |

Then we walked across the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
What a beautiful bridge.

Some people pay $250 Australian dollars to climb in goofy
looking jump suits to the top of the bridge and back.
It takes them 3 hours.
We climbed to nearly the same height on the pylon for $15 and it took us
10 minutes.

Later in the day we took a ferry over to Manly Beach.
The harbor views from the ferry were
fun.
There was heavy wind and the
sailboats were having fun!!

After we got off the ferry we got stuck in a sports store
and we each bought a couple of swim suits to use on Lord Howe Island and Lizard
Island, and Kangaroo Island. I
guess a lot of our tour of Australia will be on the islands surrounding
Australia.
That night we bought tickets to a comedy show by Drew Carey
in the main hall at the Sydney Opera House.
It was fun to be at the Opera House.
Appearing with Drew Carey were both
U.S. and Australian comedians and they were mostly funny.
We got tired and left early.
We have to catch an early flight to
Lord Howe Island in the morning.
