Sydney Opera House

A slow start to the day as we only had 2 things of note 📝 in our calendar 📅 14:45 Tour around the Sydney Opera House and 18:00 Dinner 🍽 ETC.
Late morning after packing and checking that the suitcase weighs less than 20kg, we ventured out along our usual route to the harbour area, stopping off at the occasional retail outlet to window shop. Walking around the outside of the opera house makes you appreciate the vastness of it and the tremendous engineering skills involved not only with its design by Danish architect Jørn Utzonfor the more famous outside structure and Australian architect Peter Hall who designed the internal features, but also it construction over the 14 years it took to complete.
Our tour took us inside the two main theatres. The 1st and main theatre blows your mind as you sit down and gaze around the incredible auditorium, with its perfect acoustics.
When the tour finished, we walked back into the city via the Royal Botanical Gardens and back to our hotel for a quick freshen up and change of clothes before heading out for our evening meal of Butter poached Cowra pork cutlet and Potato Gnocchi with feta, basil pesto, pinenut, tomberry and pecorino.Read more
