The hour-long guided tour of the opera house was outstanding. We so appreciated seeing various performance spaces and hearing the story of the Danish architect who was essentially fired before any of the interior work started.

The walk along the sea to the Royal Botanical Gardens adjacent to the Opera House was splendid.

A ferry ride from Circular Quay to Darlng Harbor near sunset was one of the real highlights of the day.

The day ended with a great meal at Nick’s Seafood Restaurant in Darling Harbor and an Uber trip back to the hotel. What remains? One more day of sightseeing in Sydney; then, it’s homeward bound!!
