Sydney 03/08/06
A vey hectic touristy day today.
First we completed the Sydney Explorer tour we started late yesterday afternoon. This finished about 12.15 pm.
We then took the train to Milson's Point. This is the north side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We then walked over the bridge - I can't say it was a particularly pleasant walk as the bridge carries so much traffic - there is a train line as well as car traffic. However, you do get get some great views.
Oh, and I must forget to tell you, it's the first time I've ever travelled on a 3 decker train!
When we got to the south side of the Bridge, we visited the Bridge museum which is housed in one of the Pylons. There is a little souvenior shop about 2/3 of the way up and a little observation terrace at the top (200 stairs though!). It cost AUS$9 and better value for money then doing one of those bridge climbs.
That done we returned to terra firma and had a little refreshment before taking the Bondi Explorer. We weren't doing the whole tour but had to get to Bondi Beach where Anna would be meeting us to take to dinner at Sean's Panaroma. The bit we did of the tour was very scenic.
And the dinner at Sean's was fabulous - it was a shame my human couldn't find a bit of space for a dessert but perhaps next time. Thanks Anna!
So, we're pretty much up-to-date now.
