Sydney - Part 4

From the Opera House we walked over to The Rocks district. I really liked this area of the city -- older area with neat little restaurants & shops and dotted with small parks and green spaces (and some random statues). It reminded me a lot of Georgetown. (The pictures don't really show the area, sorry).

Imitating the Captain Cook statue


Afternoon tea break


Apparently, a famous dog once lived in the area.


The only noteworthy rocks that we saw at "The Rocks"--
this was taken just beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge


Note: the security guard in the back ground is there solely to make sure no one climbs on or grafittis the bridge supports on that one side (I assume there's another on the other shore)-- needless to say, he seemed very relaxed

We walked under the bridge, through the business districts, around one harbour and to the other, Darling Harbour where our hotel was. A long walk but a great way to see a lot of the city. We passed by all of the theaters and museums that I'll have to come back to one day.
"Want a drink, Mommy?"

Just one of the many delicious meals we had in Sydney

I love J's face as you cut her food--so precious! She's as beautiful as her mommy!
