Seeing the landmarks of Sydney

The girls over looking The Sydney Harbour Bridge
The Harbour
After a well needed sleep in, we managed to get out and about to travel down to Circular Quay around 10:00am. The streets were full of people and busy. We headed down George Street to Circular Quay which took about 30 minutes on foot.

The Rocks
Around noon we met with Elessa at Circular Quay. We saw "the Rocks" (the oldest area of European settlement), the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the harbour and finally the Sydney Opera House. All were magnificent and met expectations. The Harbour was truly beautiful and the water was a rich blue colour. I understand now the reason for European settlement in this particular piece of coast. The perfect harbour.

The mid to late afternoon was spent walking/window shopping through Pitt, then George Street ending up in the Mall. The Girls saw the Channel 7 studios from the outside, which pleased them greatly. It is there we met James (Elessa's Fiance),  Elessa and James lead us to China Town where we shared a really nice Chinese meal.

We all returned to our room, where we took a look at the day's photos.
