Australia - Part 1

We left for Sydney on a Sunday evening and arrived at 6:00 am Tuesday morning.  Luckily, our hotel already had a hotel room ready for us.  

This is a picture from our hotel room.  The building in front was right across the street from us and the opera house is in the background.


The area we stayed in was called The Rocks and was very cute, with older buildings.  Some streets were cobblestone. There were stairs everywhere between buildings with walkways connecting streets. 



After we checked into the hotel, we tried to keep moving so that we could adjust to the time.  We first went to a wildlife park with Australian animals.  The koalas were my favorite. This one had a baby on her front.








We also walked around Darling Harbor.




The next day, I spent some time preparing for my course, but when the rain stopped, we went to Manly Beach and did a walk that took us along the beach, through some national park, and to a cliff that overlooks the entrance to Sydney harbor.
