SYDNEY 16/02/2009

My second day in Sydney. I went to the Sydney Harbour, but first I went to Hyde Park which is not big, but the trees over you look amazing.





From Hyde Park I went to the Royal Botanic Gardens which is free like the one in Melbourne. To my surprise I could see bats on trees in the centre of a big city. Wow. Fortunately they were not interested in my hair. The Royal Botanic Gardens is located by the harbour and the views of the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge or skyscrapers were spectacular.









I spent there a lot of time walking and taking photos. It was also the moment when the weather started clearing up and it was hot and sunny. I even became a victim of the weather because it was gloomy in the morning so I did not expect that the weather will improve so much and I did not use suntan lotion, which was a big mistake.

When I left the Royal Botanic Gardens I went to the Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Harbour looked so different in comparison to the previous day and I loved this place so much. I went to the Circular Quay Station and I bought a ZooPass ticket which includes an entry into Taronga Zoo and a return ticket on a ferry. I enjoyed this travel a lot and the view of the Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House were great. I was moving away from them with every second and I will never forget this view.



After leaving the ferry I changed to a bus and after maybe two minutes I got off in front of Taronga Zoo. Maybe it is not the biggest zoo in the world, but well organised and I enjoyed my time there at least until it started raining. The zoo is divided into some sections like Wild Australia, Reptile World, African Waterhole or Wild Asia. I had a great time there.

I have to say that giraffes have got a fantastic view of the Sydney Harbour and I liked the Sumatran tiger or a cute baby chimpanzee.

At the end of my stay there it started raining so I went back by ferry to the Circular Quay. Then I bought the Aquarium Pass and I went by ferry to the Darling Harbour and later to the Sydney Aquarium. There are special underwater tunnels where you can admire different species of fish, crocodiles, sharks and so on.
