Hi Sydney!

We made the 14 hour flight to Sydney, Australia! I slept about 7-8 hours and Syd slept 11. Pretty amazing. We also didn’t have to talk to a single person to get into the country. All of the boarder control was automated. No stamp in our passport!

We got to our hotel around 8 and couldn’t get into a room, so we changed clothes and brushed our teeth and then hit the sites. Our hotel is located right under the Sydney Harbour Bridge (notice the spelling!). 

View from the balcony. 

From there we walked all around to the Opera House and the Botanical Gardens. According to my watch, we walked 12 miles today. 

Now it is 5:45pm, the sun is completely down, and Syd is asleep. I’m trying really hard to not fall asleep until after 6pm. The jet lag is weird!

A couple things, the outlets in our hotel are hard to figure out. Turns out, you have to turn them on to charge things. On is when the red dot on the switch is showing. This was counterintuitive to me! 

My goal for the next day before we head north is to take as many photos of Syd with things that say Sydney as possible.
