Lynnie Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi,We just had the privilege to visit Sydney for 4 days (hubby works there). We spent the first 2 days in the west where we had the unexpected joy of having breakfast at The Bakers House - owned by a South African couple! The lady was SO nice and gave the kids free cupcakes - she was SO lovely.This is an AMAZING city :ilikeit: There is SO much to do and we did not have enough time to see and do everything We did visit Darling Harbor - FANTASTIC! Especially the kids playground - most impressive. We went on the ferry to the zoo, we enjoyed the spectacular views you have from there of Sydney. And the snow tiger was beautiful.... Was a bit dissapointed that there was only 3 koalas and the cages of the giraffes and elephants seemed a bit small But is was SO nice to see the African animals again There is such a vibrant feel to the city and we loved using the public transport - the trains and buses were very impressive We stayed close to Chinatown and I was overwhelmed by the amount of Asian people. Apparently 17% of Sydney's population is Asian.And then... the Opera House!!! WOW is all I can say...I did not expect to fall in love with Sydney (yes, I know I only saw a tiny part of it) - and I would love to visit again, but to be honest I was happy to be back in Brisbane, Sydney is HUGE compared to our "dorpie"!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandC Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sydney was the first place I visited on my first ever overseas trip about 10 years back. I also fell head over heels for the place. We are not sure where we will settle yet once we get to Australia, but deep in my heart I hope it's Sydney. Yes, I know they say its expensive, bla, bla, bla, but Sydney is and will always be like my first love, the one whom you will love forever. I have been down the coast from Cairns to Brisbane, and in Melbourne twice, and they are all fantastic, but my heart will always belong to Sydney.

Lynnie Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I didn't find it that expensive - maybe I just hung out in the cheap places BUT - it was just tooooooo busy and full of people (ok yes we did stay in the city, which is to be expected).I love Sydney, but will never move from Brisbane :ilikeit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
