Sydney

Sydney city was a wonderful stop of our trip. We did like a lot this town where we could feel a good atmosphere. It seems to be a very nice place to live:

- The parks are plenty of runners and couples in the public benches.

- The architecture is unique with Harbour Bridge (one of the biggest bridge of the world), the House Opera (his shape is very unusual and it’s very spectacular), the quays above the ocean (the city is becoming bigger and bigger thanks to the quays built above the water), the business areas plenty of sky towers, and at last, the old areas where the European settlers used to live at the beginning of the colonization (these streets are very pretty with old buildings and paved roads.

- The attraction park, called Luna Park, is very nice: this park was built in the 30’s.

- The sand beaches are only at a few kilometers of the city centre which is a good solution to escape the urban noises of Sydney for the weekend.

During our 3 days trip in Sydney, we walked a lot to discover the city from a side to another. We did enjoy our walk along the quays where we could admire the well-known House Opera. We walked as well over theHarbour Bridge (it was very impressive to walk here, we felt very small indeed on this big bridge!) .We passed across the Botanic Garden when the night was falling: it was a weird moment for us because we did not know that there were bats everywhere in Sydney… During the sunset, we could hear them screaming and flying above our head… their size was impressive (they are 3 times bigger than in Europe).  We were like in Gotham City!

After this nice trip in Sydney, we have a flight to Alice Springs, in the heart of Australia… where we plan to camp and walk… another adventure is waiting for us!
