November 2, Sydney Day 3
Two intense days in Sydney does not bode well for senior bodies. We decided to take it really easy today, and just visit the botanic gardens. We left the ship around 8am and walked around the quay to the gardens, a short 15 minute walk away. As we started into the gardens we were amazing at the number of wild cockatiels flying around. We got several great pictures of them while there.
The gardens are absolutely beautiful. A lot of bushes and plants were in bloom, the sun was shinning, and there was a gentle breeze coming off of the water. During our walk there we saw many different types of birds including wild lorikeets, ibis, and many others.
Walking back toward the ship we decided to stop by the Sydney Opera House. A very interesting structure sitting at the end of the quay, it is host to many different varieties of shows throughout the year.
We were back onboard in time for lunch and decided that we were done for the day. We saw so many wonderful sights while here, but three days is not nearly enough. I don’t know if you can really see all of Sydney in a week. But we enjoyed what we did see, and are looking forward to our next port of call, Melbourne.
