A Walking Tour -- a long walk


Chris and I took our own walking tour of Sydney while Marlin went down to the Opera House.

We headed out from the hotel to Surrey Hill.  We got to see different cafes, businesses and town homes.  The iron work on the balconies and fencing is so charming.

From Surrey Hill we walked past Oxford Street on down hill to Wooloomooloo.

Stopped to have a bite to eat and rest.  Walked on down to the wharf and around the Botanic Gardens that we had been through to get to the Art Museum.
Went into the Opera House...didn't see much but took a ridiculous number of photos.

We had lunch at one of the cafes around the Opera House and had this pic taken with the Harbour Bridge in the background.

From Central Quay we took a ferry to Taronga Zoo.  We weren't going to the zoo but walking to Mosman Bay to catch that ferry back to Sydney.

We walked a very long way to get to Mosman Bay asking for directions along the way.  Aussies are really bad at giving directions!

We did pass some beautiful homes.
And also got this fantastic view of the Sydney skyline from Mosman Bay....North Sydney.
