Sydney thus far...

We arrived in Sydney to a hot 34 degrees with a humidity of 40%. We were not prepared for the wave of heat that hit our faces when we walked out of the airport.
We stayed at Wake UP! hostel for two nights but quickly moved on the the YHA The Rocks because of the quality of the hostel and the location. We enjoy The Rocks area much more. It was originally were the Convicts lived but now has been restore and has beautiful shops, restaurants, and apartments.
It is also close to the Sydney Opera House, the Bridge, the Central transportation station and much more.

We did a walking tour of Sydney that told us all about the history of the places and how it became the city as it is now. To the left is the barracks where convicts where held. To the left and down is an anchor from a ship that was one of the first to visit Sydney. During our walking tour we got to see the bridge and opera house from afar but we are going to see but up close and personal very soon. In fact we did the bridge climb today.














It was a balmy 36 degrees with a humidity of 40% with the winds not cooling us off very much! The climb was beautiful. We could see a large portion of the city and were able to enjoy the more open and breathtaking areas in from above. It was a costly adventure but we enjoyed it. The pictures we have of it aren't currently working so I will have to up load them at a later date, sorry about that. In the mean time we are going to tour the opera house, check out Manly and perhaps a few other islands that are supposed to be great. So I will update you when we are heading out of the capital of New South Wales!
