May 6th, Sydney Day 2
We had a delicious breakfast on the outside patio at the B&B and then headed to Circular Quay. We went on the Harbor Cruise and it was a perfect day for a boat ride. High seventies and very sunny. We first stopped at the Taronga Zoo and enjoyed seeing the koalas, kangaroos and giraffes. Very fun. Then we got back on the boat and went to Watson’s Bay for lunch. We ate at the famous Doyles and had a wonderful lunch. Then we went for a walk up to the bluffs and the gap. You can really appreciate how protected the harbor is from those views of the Pacific.
Then we walked to the Hornby lighthouse which is the farthest point south of Watson’s Bay. Beautiful views. There were some regattas being run so there were so many sailboats.
We got back on the boat and cruised under the bridge and over to Darling Harbor. It was a little too commercialized for us so we just enjoyed the sites and stayed on the boat. We got back to Circular Quay and went to a little wine bar on Georges St. for a drink. Then we went for a walk to enjoy the sunset. We ended up at the Sydney Observatory Park and saw a beautiful sunset. The views are just spectacular in this city.
We had dinner at Pony’s, another recommendation from Jeff and had a delicious dinner. We ordered a bottle of Skillogalee wine from Clare Valley that was delightful. Then we called it a night. We may go to the Blue Mountains tomorrow but we’ll see what the weather is like and then decide.
