Day 26 - Around Sydney

We really only had an afternoon and evening in Sydney by the time it was all said and done, but we still got around a bit. We were staying in the neighborhood called "The Rocks" which was right near the harbor and the opera house. So, we got to see that a bunch, which was cool. And we saw two cruise ships docked in the port. Those boats are mindblowingly enormous! They just look plain big in pictures or commercials, but in person it was just amazing.

Anyway, Bridget had been to Sydney a few years ago and said we had to do the coastal walk from Bondi beach south. So we caught a bus over there and walked down the trail and back. The sun was out and there was a nice breeze off the water. The path weaved in and out of the beaches and bluffs along the coast. The rocky bluffs looked otherworldy. It looked like those rock formations used to be underwater and slowly were lifted (or pushed) up and out of the water. It was wild.

After the walk around, we grabbed dinner and a jacket and walked over by the Opera House after the sun set. We sat opposite the Harbor Bridge and watched the boats go by as we soaked in our last evening before heading home.

The next morning came early but was started with a nice hot breakfast included with our room at our hotel. Sweet.

Then it was off to the train to the airport and our flight home. We bid farewell as the plane rolled back from the gate. We are both happy and sad - its always great to get home after being away for a while, but it's sad that our Pacific Adventure is over. You all know how it goes.
