    Sydney Day 2

    June 10, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    When something is free the Gappies will do it.
    We joined the Sydney Free Walking Tour at 10:30am that took us to different important places in Sydney for the next 3 hours. It was actually quite interesting and we did learn some new things about the city.
    We finished the tour at the bottom of the Harbour Bridge and walked over to catch a ferry to Darling Harbour.
    We started a little shopping tour and just enjoyed being in a big city again. 💕
    After we had brought our shopping bags back to the hostel it was already after 6pm which meant we could go and explore Vivid Sydney some more.
    Illuminated swings, a screen that gave you wings, neon clouds and the light projections onto the Museum of Contemporary Art where some of our favourites but all of the around 60 light installations we saw were wonderful. 💕
    We ate at Vapiano which surprisingly was opened until 11pm (normally it is hard to find something to eat after 7pm). When we left at 10:30pm we had 30min left before the lights went out so we made our way back over Martin Place where we got to see 6 more light installations. One of them included a piano and so we stopped to listen for a while. 💕
    Vivid gave Sydney even more atmosphere than it already has. We definitely didn't regret our choice to spend the weekend here. 💕
