Downtown Sydney

Tours on top of the bridge

Opera House

Trying to rid myself of a hangover caused by a Friday night in Sydney, I definitely got a late start to the day. But it was my last day in Sydney and I still needed to see the sights, so I dragged my butt out of bed (and by bed I mean the couch cushions laid out on Lindseys bedroom floor). I headed back into town for a ferry ride around the bay with Eva and Andreana (it awesome being able to meet up with people who needed to see all the tourist sites too). We ended up taking the ferry up to Manly Beach and back, basically just a 1 ferry ride through the harbor. There were great views of the bridge and the opera house and the different sections of Sydney. We headed to the opera house, which as far as I could tell was just a mecca for asian tourists. We couldn’t really go in but we walked around the entire thing, and waited for the sun to set behind the bridge. It was really interesting seeing all the tours climbing the bridge trying to make it to the top before sunset. Leaving Eva and Andreana to walk around the city, I went to meet up with my friend Wally to catch up (he did his exchange in Colorado but lives in Sydney). There was the last rugby game of the tri nations tournament on and it was NZ vs. Australia so we went to a pub for dinner and to see some of the game, sadly NZ lost :(.
