Sydney: the sister city to Seattle?

Sydney: the sister city to Seattle?

On our first few days traveling with the moms Sydney really showed us it's wet underbelly. The rain drizzled and then poured. We wet weather veterans donned our jackets and hit the streets for some sightseeing regardless. First stop was, well FIRST we had to get coffee but after that we were off to see the aquarium after the glowing recommendation from Stephanie and Todd who'd recently been in Australia. We LOVED it and E's mom is thinking about going back for a second look. Later that afternoon we hit up a museum and stopped for a snack at a tea shop.



Exhausted we trekked back to the hotel and collapsed onto our beds. We were all asleep by 8, but we blame it on the time change!

Our second day was W.E.T. We endured the drizzle in the morning visiting The Rocks, the first settlement in Sydney, now a market area on the weekends as well as a docking point for gigantic cruise ships and their passengers. We saw the opera joust through a haze of rain and before long Z. And his mom decided to bag the sightseeing and opted for a movie instead. E. and her mom saw the Contemporary Art Museum at The Rocks and a few galleries along the adjacent street before heading to the train to get back to the room. We called it a day around 7 and enjoyed dinner in our little suite.
