Today we decided to do the Hop on Hop off bus and see more of the city. We started early and decided on taking the full tour first to listen to the commentary before we got off to see something. The bus hit everywhere.
Since it was a double decker, we sat on the Open Top bus to view everything and grab some photos. We finally stopped at Hyde Park, got off and walked over to the Sky Tower. The tallest building in Sydney. At the top is an observation area, rotating bar, and rotating restaurant. We did the observation area and grabbed some pics. I was amazed at the size and expansion of Sydney. They actually call this "Little New York". From a City perspective, the size and expanse, and the amount of people that walk the streets daily, I would believe it. We walked from the Sky tower to Darling Harbor. There we visited the Aquarium saw some amazing fish that you would never see in our part of the world. Back to the bus to continue on our journey. This time we switched buses to head out to Bondi Beach.
This is on the East side of Sydney where all the Surfers go. It was beautiful. A huge bay, with nice sand, lots of shops, and many surfers.
Now we head back on the last bus of the day, back to Circular Quay to our Hotel. It was a long day. We turned in early tonight. Climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge tomorrow.
