Darling Harbour

Feb 17th

Sydney Tower!

Walking tour of Darling Harbour. We went right by the biggest IMAX in the world and the Chinese Garden as well. The tour ended at Cargo Bar, a bar that overlooks the water on the harbour. At the bar, we received complimentary drinks. Not too bad of a bar, but I'll stick to the ones on King Street and Oxford St. probably, as they attract more college aged attendees.

Harbour Bridge from the Sydney Tower

After Cargo Bar, Zach and I headed to Sydney Tower and went to the top. What a panarama! The Opera House and Harbour Bridge were right below and St. Mary's Cathedral could be seen on one side. I recognised the University of Sydney Camperdown/Darlington campus that I am residing at in the close distance. On the ground floor of Sydney Tower we went on Oztrek, a virtual ride through Oz. What a waste of time. It showed all these sights that we should see in Australia, but it was accompanied by annoying jerky motions, not entertaining at all.

Chinatown is even cooler at twilight. I got me some bubble tea A.K.A. milk tea.
