Sydney

An open top bus is a good way to find your way around any new city.



Sydney is surprisingly large but does a good job in catering to the tourist.





The dock areas have been refurbished to provide aquariums, museums and condos as well as tourist boat trips,







working ferries and naval dockyards. Quite a lot of the old buildings have been preserved and






there are weekend markets which sell some really nice stuff. Eating is eclectic with thai, indian, vietnamese, japanese and fusion food available in bistro's with outdoor tables. The town is very much a global city. There seems to be a surprisingly large population of Asians considering that until recently Australia had a very restrictive immigration policy. We did the standard tourist stops today, the coat hanger, the opera house and the botanical gardens.
