Today we are off to visit Sydney, Maureen kindly gave us a lift to Kiama where we caught the train to Central station Sydney. It took over 2 hours to get into Sydney, there are a lot of stops on the way!

Once at the station the magic of a mobile phone allowed us to walk only 500 metres to the hotel. The room was ready so we were checked in by 12.45, it is actually quite nice and perfect for two nights.

As today is nice day, warm and sunny we decided to go walking. Down to Darling Harbour and across Pyrmont Bridge.

Then continued down to Barangaroo Reserve, under the Sydney Harbour Bridge on to the Opera House.

Through the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hyde Park and back to the hotel with tired feet!

After a short rest we were off again, this time just around the corner into China Town for a very tasty meal followed by some emperors cream puffs again lovely.

By the time we got back to the hotel for a final time today it was not long before we settled down for the night.
