We had a busy day sightseeing today. First we went up the Sydney Tower which is the same height as the Eiffel Tower and affords great panoramic views around the city. Part of our ticket was to see the “Oztrek” experience. Well, what an experience. Not. Honestly, we sat through a virtual tour of Australia which was as cheesy as gorgonzola and was clearly designed to sell as much of the country as possible to tourists. The actual tower though was very good and we both enjoyed the views a lot. We also enjoyed having lunch overlooking the city – that was nice. After that we walked to the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was really lovely. It was a little spot of tranquillity in a busy city.
We then wandered towards the Harbour Bridge and walked about halfway across it to take in the views of the harbour. The area around the bridge is nice – it’s a bit like The Lanes in Brighton; all old buildings and little twittens. After mooching about the shopping district for a while we headed back to the hotel for a bit and then headed out for dinner. We ate in the Blackbird Café which is a really tasty restaurant overlooking Darling Harbour. It’s quite swanky around there – lots of lights which look really pretty reflected in the water. We’re going to pack now – New Zealand tomorrow! Can’t believe it’s going so quickly.
