Sydney

Two days in Sydney - from the Opera to the Beach. See new photos at http://gallery.me.com/herrlk/100039. Enjoyed The Magic Flute at the iconic opera house in Sydney harbor, toured the city on a double decker bus, took time to see more animals and take the ferry to nearby Manly beach. Cruised out of the fantastic Sydney harbor to the accompaniment of Australian music (mostly drinking songs), a flotilla of small boats, police boats chasing smaller craft away, a helicopter, and lots of folks waving from the shore. Poor Captain Cook - he missed this spot!

Greetings! The bridge cam shots while docked in Syndey were wonderful...glad you got to make your way through the city and attend the opera. Next stop - the great barrier reef...looking forward to great pictures from there! BTW, the picture gallery is great - helps those of us freezing back here remember that spring and summer are on the way!
