Australia Day 2

Our first full day in Australia was WET! The heavens opened and pretty much stayed that way the rest of the time we we were in Sydney.But, it certainly didn't stop us from having a great time. On the itinerary for this day was the Deluxe City Tour, and Deluxe it was. We started off with a tour of the most famous landmark in Australia, the Sydney Opera House.

The view was even stunning on a grey day!
Carter and I spent most of the the day huddled together under an umbrella. It really was quite cozy!










Here are some of the gals we always travel with. THIS is the reason the trips with Old American are so much fun!

Look how enthralled we look. It really was quite fascinating to learn the history of this amazing building.

This is the view inside the concert hall. Look at the organ pipes. AMAZING.   The organ is the largest in the world.  It has over 10,000 pipes and took 10 years to build.

After our tour we headed across the harbor, by boat, to the famous Bondi Beach.

We had lunch at a fun beach front restaurant. The fish and chip were deelish.We spent the rest of the afternoon walking the beach and shopping.

Later that evening we had dinner at the Italian Village. Every dinner was super fancy and fun. The food....not so much. Little piece of advice, don't travel to Australia for the food. It was a fun dinner though, They made it feel like you were back to the days when Australia was first settled. Apparently by, convicts, wenches and soldiers. Delightful.

The best part of the dinner was the UGG Boot station they had set up. They let us choose our own Uggs! Yeah! It was dark and I accidentally chose midnight blue which I though were a dark grey....BOO!

You can always count on Lou and Kim to liven up a picture. As You can see day 2 was a huge success!
