Sydney - Day 2 - Ferry Ride & Sydney Opera House

We stayed in Darling Harbour and loved how easy it was to explore Sydney. We took the ferry early in the morning and rode to Circular Quay (pronounced key). Along the way we were awed by the many amazing sights that seeing Sydney from the water afforded. Here are just a few of the shots we got from the first leg of our day.

After arriving at the Quay we walked to the Opera House. It truly is a magnificent building and the ambiance continues inside as well...even in the toilets (which is how Australian refer to restrooms or bathrooms)! Most of these pictures were taken while we were on the ferry arriving in Circular Quay.
