Great Places To Visit - Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia

The Sydney Opera House. What can I say? A marvel of architecture. Try gob smacking up close and personal. I was fascinated by it. Loved being able to "touch" it and walk around it, and just watch people admiring this amazing structure. It has been a long time since we have been to Sydney and actually gone done to the Opera House, walked around and then sat at a cafe having some lunch and just admired it and the bridge. Could have sat there for hours. It's just so stunningly beautiful! Peek a Boo at the Bridge.

The weather was overcast on the day we walked down to the bridge as you can see from the early photos. I kind of like it though, something different from the usual blue sky pics. The sun was still about which made it glarey at times, but I like the "moodyness" of it. People are always so fascinating to me as well, so many cultures, different ways of dressing and when you listen, so many lovely sounding languages.

We just caught a cab which cost us around $45.00 at time of writing (July 2014), from then on we walked everywhere. We indulged ourselves and booked a lovely room on the 24th Floor (for the views of course!), and you will see from some of the photos that it had breathtakingly beautiful views of Sydney onto the lovely harbour. Worth every cent. We were able to get the room at a discounted rate by shopping around online and not booking directly through the hotel. The Boulevard Hotel as it is called has a very good little "cafe" in the foyer which serves a smal
