Quantas flight this morning from Melbourne to Sydney as will be working the next two weeks in the Sydney office.
Hotel is again in the downtown near the Circle Quay harbor area which have good view of from the room on Level 12. (See pictures below.) After arriving and getting settled in went exploring on foot to the harbor area. Early dinner at an Italian restaurant in the harbor area.
Circle Quay has tons of restaurants, cafes, shops and stores - pretty touristy. Public transportation also big in Sydney - centered mostly on buses, rail and boats. Do not use electric trams in city area like Melbourne. Sydney also a great place to walk and even more hilly than Melbourne (and steeper hills, too). Then walk from hotel to the office is couple of blocks as in Melbourne. Roamed around Circle Quay for a while after dinner.
Weather here seems nicer than in Melbourne. Sydney is north of Melbourne, but in Australia, need to go north for better weather vs. going south in the US.
Pictures below are all views from hotel room.

Another....A new interesting tid-bit - the toilets in Australia do not have toggle handles - rather two "buttons". One button is for half flush and second is for full flush - you figure it out!!
But the question is which way does the water go when you flush the toilet? Clockwise or counter clockwise?
ReplyDeleteHave you had a Veggimite sandwich yet? Not sure what it is but Tristen's mom talked about those when she was here. Sounds like you are having a great time and taking advantage of every opportunity to see the country. Love the Blog!
