A day out in Sydney ....
Last weekend, Maureen and I decided to have a day out in our beautiful Sydney.
We hopped on the train at Oak Flats - 5 mins away from home at 8.45am, paid our $2.50and away we went.
We arrived at Circular Quay at about 11am and wandered around to the Rocks - it was a bit showery but not cold. This gave a bleaker look to our harbour but there were still tourists wandering about. A young Canadian lass asked me to take her photo with the Opera House in the background and asked where we were from. "Oh we live her" says I. "Wow" she said - "Well how come you are still taking photo's of it?" My response was "Well, it's still beautiful!" And it is!
We walked around to Darling Harbour and caught the little trolley from the Aquarium to the main complex(to rest our legs!)where we had a nice lunch before walking up around the Maritime Museum and lighthouse to the ferry wharf to catch one back to the Quay. We had a great ride on the harbour and by now the sun was out to show it at it's best.
I just had to take another shot of the Opera House and Luna Park - the original shot does have the whole face but as usual Mr MosaicMaker cropped it for me! The building on the point surrounded by trees (for our non Sydneyites) is Kirribilli House - the PM's residence. Great view eh?
Then back on the train up to Central and home.
We got back to Oak Flats at about 6pm and had a GREAT day out just doing nothing except enjoying the day!
Not bad for $2.50 eh?
I didn't count the $4.50 the trolley ride cost or lunch and coffee - well they are absorbed costs - LOL
