Sydney, Day 1


Harbour Bridge at Sunset II, originally uploaded by sheepyak.

Musselman's Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies are the best packaged cookies ever. I had the privilege of trying these delicacies on the flight from LA to Sydney. The flight was 14.5 hours, but didn't feel bad at all. I was able to sleep for about 6 hours, and after that it was about the same length as the flight to LA. We arrived at about 6:15 in the morning Sydney time, we got our 7-day travel passes, which allow us to travel on any bus and ferry, and on the subway in most of the areas we'll be visiting. We took the subway to our hotel, which was only 2 blocks from the station, checked in, showered (which felt glorious) and headed to Circular Quay, where many of the ferries depart. We wandered over the Opera House and the surrounding Botanical Gardens, and then hopped on the ferry to Manly. We walked around Manly Beach for a short while before heading back to the ferry, from which we were able to watch the sun set behind Harbour Bridge.

More photos from today.
