Today we decided to go to a different hostel, maybe one in the downtown area. We walked around for ever with these damn backpacks in the blazing sun. Eventually we made it to a place that wasn't even near where we wanted to be, but we were happy to get the backpacks off our backs! We then took the train(subway) to Sydney Harbor.
What a neat place, we saw the Harbor bridge........

.....and the Opera House.

There were some other interesting things, a statue(mime) holding flowers for sale......

.....and Scotsman playing bagpipes, (that's me behind him).

There were great views of the Opera House all around. We want to go see an opera, Macbeth was playing, but it was $75. We'll see how our funds are holding out before we leave Sydney.

We booked a dinner cruise on a clipper ship, "The Bounty" that sailed around the harbor. It was fun, all the crew dressed and acted like pirates. The dinner was buffet style with fish, pork, steak, and all the trimmings. It was a beautiful night, slight breeze, and the lights of the surrounding city.
