Sydney pics

The most interesting excursion we had while in Sydney was, for me, the Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park: Home - Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park. Our tour stop was for 2 hours and it wasn't enough. I would have liked to have spent at least another hour there.

Above is a short=beaked echnid = a monotreme (egg laying mammal) like the platypus.

Below are some of the little penguins endemic to Australia (thinking of you, Barb!)

Below is a wombat sharing a drink with an Australian white ibis.

Matt and I did the tourist thing and had our pic taken with a Koala. They are super soft and very food motivated.

We really enjoyed "going on walk about" in Syndey and exploring the central area we stayed in. The food and coffee are excellent everywhere. I really enjoyed just sipping a latte al fresco in front of a cafe. In fact, we landed on our first travel truth: When either of you (and by this I mean - mostly me) starts to feel stressed, lost, or a little peckish: Stop for a rest and a cuppa something, relax and reassess before pushing on.

Below - Matt is tall... but seriously. Who lives behind this tiny door!

When we first arrived in Sydney we did a pop on pop off bus tour to get a lay of the land. It was really great and Matt had a great vantage for his GoPro video!

Below - I just liked how the juxtaposition of these two buildings looked. We were having lunch on a patio here. And yes, it's definitely amore.

Below - it becomes more obvious now that my photos loaded in opposite order when I added them to the blog page :) I can't find a simple way to fix it, so forgive me! I'm rolling with it for this post!

Arriving in Sydney!!!
