Sydney Recap!

No more Oprah posts. This is about one of my several recaps that I promised a few months ago. I'm going to Sydney very soon, so I figure now is a better time than ever to tell you about my birthday weekend in June 2009. My generous boyfriend (before he was my fiancé) took me there for four perfect days.

Here is photo documentary of what we did!

Below, I'm sitting on a fountain by Circular Quay (pronounced KEY). This is where the ferries dock by the Opera House. There are a lot of restaurants there, too. You eat there for the views; not for the reasonably-priced bill. You won't find one. There IS a Gelatissimo, though.

We were frugal and got our food from a cafeteria. I ate a tuna sandwich, and Al ate chips (fries). The seagulls watched our every move, hoping that they could steal some of our food. The generous Al donated one fry. We watched them fight over it.
Picture
While walking through Circular Quay, I got a kick out of the "toilet" signs. Come on, I had only been in Australia for a month. It was still funny (I need to add that to my next "culture clash".
Picture
I got up close and personal with the Opera House.....
Picture
...and posed in front of the Harbour Bridge. 
Picture
WE posed :)
Picture
I sat on Mrs. Macquarie's Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens.....
Picture
....then we strolled up the Harbour Bridge.
Picture
We almost walked on a pirate ship....
Picture
...but instead got on a bus to Bondi Beach.
Picture
I wanted to have tea at the Icebergs...
Picture
...but we walked along the coast instead.
Picture
We went to China Town.
Picture
We spent so much time at Darling Harbour, we could have walked there with our eyes closed.
Picture
We found a dog with sun-sensitive eyes...
Picture
...and we waved to Sponge Bob at the Sydney Aqarium.
Picture
We saw more animals at Taronga Zoo. After that, it was time to go back to Adelaide. I was very sad that my long birthday weekend was coming to an end...
Picture
...until I found a homemade cake waiting for me at his parent's house!
Picture
Sydney, I'll see you for New Years Eve 2010-2011!
