6/14 Botanic Garden & the Rocks

Sydney! Honestly I had never thought seriously about going to Australia, but Beth was keen so off we went. Turns out this is an amazing place and luckily (?) we are staying in Woolloomooloo, immediately East of the botanical garden; only a 10 minute walk!

So our first day we got to see Sydney harbor, the famous bridge and opera house (though closer inspection did not excite any of us) and for lunch we had fish and chips - YUM!

Afterward we walked around the rocks a bit; neat for historical buildings and narrative history (via plaques telling individual's stories along the way) and small shops with pies and sweets or pubs - but only for adults (nuts!) so I could not take the family in for lunch. That's ok; fish and chips did a nice job of filling tummies.
