It's quite amazing actually, how quickly we got used to the sight of such an impressive sight. As we walked in and out of the city and along the harbor it just appeared, showing its Swedish bricks everywhere we went. And the bridge! Oh my the bridge is also just like a picture!
We found there are these painted Rhinoceroses all over Sydney. They are part of some art piece though I've not really sure of their significance. The makers clearly knew I would be around as they all say not to ride on them, which is obviously my first instinct. Kissing will have to suffice until they quit being hard asses.
I love the lifestyle of much of Sydney. There is a laid back vibe that only coastal cities can give off. The cafes/bars/shops are each unique and interesting. Offering many different experiences right next to each other.
Lastly, we took a stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens. These are the oldest gardens and scientific institution in Australia. They have an outstanding collection of plants (focusing on native Australian plants and those from the South Pacific). Outside of the garden there are parklands with tons of grassy areas, fields and trees. It is a wonderful place to spend the day, read a book, hang out with friends, have a picnic or all of the above. We enjoyed the gardens and spent a couple hours hanging out by the water in the shade of some of the largest trees I have ever seen.
