Day 1730: Exploring Sydney

Just after 6:30 am, we arose from our stupor, turned on the tv and heard a story that stopped us cold.  A train wreck at Hoboken.  100 injured and 1 dead after a high speed train went off the track and crashed into the station.   I immediately looked at Facebook and found that Evan had checked in safe.  So were  all the members of his team.  Thank goodness!

The other good news is that Hillary is up a few points in the polls.  

We set off for a tour of the city and hit lots of highlights.  Mrs. Macquaries' Chair,  the Bridge, Bondi Beach, an opal museum and shop, the Sydney Eye, and ending up at the Opera House for a tour.  Then, we strolled back slowly through the Botanic Gardens, past the cathedral and the first housing for convicts that arrived from England back in 1788. Ended the day at small pub with mug of cider and chicken schnitzel.  Great meal.  

It was another packed day and my feet are sore from miles of walking in sandals.  Poor choice of forward today.  Tomorrow, the Blue Mountains!
