Sydney - CBD

We had an opportunity to travel with John up to Sydney for a weekend in November. We ended up staying in 3 different hotels during our stay because Britney Spears was in town performing and everything was sold out. While John worked, the kids and I took the opportunity to walk around the city being careful to follow the signs that were painted on the road at every intersection.

We found this tree, made of Sprite bottles, which hinted of the Christmas season about to come.

We walked around "The Rocks", which had no rocks to speak of, but did have a tree that was a lot of fun to climb on.



We then walked to the Harbour Bridge and enjoyed views of the Sydney Opera House and the harbour.

The day was very hot and the highlight for the kids was getting Slurpees (after walking for ten hours, according to Colin)!

Those trees look magical. And I love the Sydney Opera House. Maybe someday you can go inside?

WOW! Love this post! It makes me want to go back to Sydney. I loved that bottle tree. It was very close to our hotel! We did the "Rocks" tour... yeah- no rocks to speak of! And, for the record the bats are NOT awesome.
