Sydney

Harbour Bridge

With vibrant lights, the famous Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge, Sydney is the city for tourists. The warmer weather was a nice weekend treat. There was a 12 hour train ride from Melbourne which arrived at Sydney Central the next morning. Although a flight is shorter, the train experience allows for a peaceful sleep until the destination was reached. The train went along the coast, stopping at several towns, until reaching the state of New South Wales.

Sydney is the site of the world famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Walking along the bridge, you can see the Opera House, and the city. The Harbour is a beautiful place, with tons of restaurants, ferries and events that goes on. The best part of the harbour was grabbing dinner at the Opera House restaurant, and watching the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge.

With its warmer climate, Sydney’s beaches are very populated for the winter time. Lots of shops and restaurants occupied Manly beach, while the golden sand shone in the sunlight. There are numerous ferries available that go across bodies of water that interjects between the cities. The ferry rides are both relaxing, and used not only by the public but as well a huge tourist attraction.

Sydney is a very modern city, with tall buildings and new structures. It has some old rustic charm, however much more modern than Melbourne. This City is very popular when it comes to night life activities. The shops and restaurants are open late into the night.
