We started by taking the ferry into Sydney from Parammatta where we are staying. The ferries were created for the Olympics and are all names after Australian athletes. We were on the Betty Cuthbert. Such a formal name for a ferry. We docked in Syndey harbour along side the opera house. What a site. The Harbour Bridge on one side, the opera house on the other, boats of all kinds sailing around and clear blue sky.
Next onto the bus. We went to the Opera House, Harry's famous Meat Pie truck in Wolloomoolo(picture will be posted later), China Town, the Sydney Fish Market (largest working fish market in the southern hemisphere), Paddy's Market, a very interesting farmers market/ flea market that is described as East meets West, an are called the Rocks and a few other places in between.
At one point in the trip, I managed to fall over and skin my knee. I look like a six year old now with a big brush burn. But as the Australian's say - "No Worries." Rosemary got a picture -
The architecture in Sydney is fantastic, a mix of big stone houses and ornate government buildings, mixed with houses with tile roofs that look like southern Florida.
More racing on the schedule for today.
