My first two days in Sydney have been great. I wandered around Darling Harbour, which was darling, and saw the aquarium, which included some really interesting creatures like sea dragons (kind of like sea horses, but bigger and weird.) Unfortunately, I missed the platypus. Oh well.
Yesterday I saw the Opera House really for the first time (I had a glance from the plane when we were far away,) and Harbour Bridge. Both were very cool, and I hope to explore them a bit more. After that, I walked from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach. Although the walk was not that long, it took all day because I had several beaches to stop at in-between. It was beautiful, and the day was cloudless. Unfortunately, despite many applications of sunscreen, I got burned. Now I'm kicking myself for not keeping to the shade more!
There's plenty to see here, so I'm sure it will be a busy, packed-full kind of week.
