Sorry - no images today - technical difficulties.
Our last day in Sydney, Australia and our trip. Our first day, waaaaay back then, was lovely, the next two were crummy (rain rain rain), the next was cold and windy and there was sun for the next 30 days. These last few days have mirrored the first few. We landed in Sydney to beautiful 70 degree weather. Then boom, came the rain, wind, and crummy weather, two days of misery walking about. But we had things to do, places to go and had only today to do it. Braving the wet and wind, we headed out for the Great Synagogue. We took the subway, which is always an adventure and fun for us. But alas, today was not a tour day at the synagogue so we couldn't go in. Go figure. Then we had along walk to find the Jewish Museum. Quite a nice place, well done, Sydney.
From there we took the subway again to the Monorail to Paddy's Market, which we thought would be an interesting food hall a, but noooooo, it was a shlock place from top to bottom. However, we were hungry and on the top floor we found a dim sum restaurant that had mostly Asians in it and was great. Lovely lunch!
Then on to the free shuttle bus to finally get to the Opera House for our tour. Wow, what a place. It is magnificent inside and out. We sat in one of the theaters, the concert hall and the opera/ballet theater. To reiterate, MAGNIFICENT.
Our final thing to do was take the ferry to Manly. On a nice day, Manly is said to have great beach. The weather was still bad but the ferry was on our list so off we went. We got on the ferry with the intention of doing a round tip without getting off the ferry and that's just what we did. By the time we got back it was dark, we had dinner and prepared to end our 35 days Down Under.
