The bus trip of Sydney

This morning we got up and had some breakfast at the Executive Lounge at the top of our hotel. We had the best views of the city. The park next to the hotel is great and we could see the bridge, opera house and even the Olympic Stadium. Tomorrow we are going to take the camera to breakfast.

After Breakfast we got on the Hop-on Hop-off bus and saw some of the city.


These are a couple shots from the bus.


This is where we ate lunch. It is in what they call The Rocks.
This is where the convicts used to live in the old days. Now it is just tourist traps and souvenir stores.


mmm, Bailey's Ice Cream


More of the Rocks.


The Sydney Opera House.



Circular Quay, where the ferries come and go.



The happy couple across the Quay from the SOH.


The Harbour Bridge.
We wanted to do the bridge climb, but those vultures want $160 a piece to take the bridge climb tour.


An artsy look at the Opera House.


Sitting on the steps.

Tonight we are going back to the Opera House for a comedy show.
Hopefully we will get some pics of Sydney at night.

If you guys have time I also suggest doing the bus tour up to the Blue Mountains. The one I took (granted a few years ago) will take you to the Olympic Stadium, to a "petting zoo" where you can pet koala's and feed Kangs and then up to the Blue Mountains, which is really beautiful.

I love reading your blog!

We are actually doing that today. The bus is picking us up in about 30 minutes. We will have pics up tomorrow.
