• Sydney Walkabout 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️

    February 16 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    First full day in Sidney 🇦🇺. After breakfast, we did the usual walk 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ to get our bearings and find out where the Hilton Hotel is ready for our early start in the morning. 10 minutes walking, so that's OK 👍. Carrying on walking down the street from the Hilton is Westfield shopping centre. So in we went, just to see how it compares with the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, London. Apart from top of the range designer shops such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc, there is also the Sydney Tower Eye. So after a shortish wait and even shorter lift ride, we were soon in the 19th floor Observation Deck, 309 metres above the ground. The 360-degree viewing platform offered fabulous views around and across the city.
    After literally coming down from our breathtaking view, we walked along Pitt Street and onto the harbour for another fabulous view of the Sydney Opera House across the harbour.
    Walking back to the hotel to get freshened up, we headed out to Chinatown for a good healthy meal, as Jayne would say. But first, I wanted to see the award winning Squashed Brown Paper Bag building before we ate our Pork Stir Fry in Oyster Sauce and Chicken Pad Thai. 😋😋
