We arrived in Sydney Friday morning after a grueling 14 hour flight, made more grueling by the 3 hour traffic delay on the Bay Bridge! After very little sleep, we got to our hotel only to find we could not get to our room for several hours.
The time change doesn't seem all that radical, except for the entire day which is lost, so we had enough energy to wander around Sydney for a while. It's quite a beautiful town, and we were very close to Hyde Park and the Botanical Gardens, so we enjoyed the walk. We noticed some interesting birds in the parks, I think there will be quite a lot of unusual animal sightings on this trip.
The next day we decided to take a boat ride to the Toranga Zoo, situated across the harbor. The weather was spectacular! You would not believe the number of sailboats in this place!
