Sydney and Gardens Revisited

From the Crest Hotel we had a great view of the bridge and the opera house. We returned to Sydney on the 11th of Aril. On the 12th we went to dinner and a play at the Opera House. It was a good time and we met and spoke with a few ladies that had been there before. 

Hyde park from a different angle. Another one of the fountains in the park. 

Headed to the Hard rock cafe to pick up some shot glasses for my collection. Saw a guitar signed by Pink Floyd and a drum by Phil Collins.

BACK TO THE GARDENS!!!!!! All sorts of picks below of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney.Got the ship with her sails up this time.

Lotus plants.

The main pools is a home to many fish. Including this big gold one and a few eels. A boy is teasing the eels and they are actually poking their heads out of the water to touch his hand if he gets to close.
