G'day Sydney! — RachiePie

We made it back to mainland Australia Wednesday night! We left Hobart at 4:30pm and by 6:30pm, we had landed in Sydney. I studied abroad in Sydney 14 years ago and have been looking forward to returning. It has been exciting to be back in a city again for a change of scenery and excellent food choices! On Thursday, we checked out the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney Opera House, Luna Park and walked across the Harbour Bridge. It was a busy day and we walked a total of 8 miles before 3:00pm!

It has felt a bit funny being back in Sydney as I remember some parts of the city very clearly and others have escaped my mind completely or are not at all how I remember them. I did recognize a lot of the major sights we saw on Thursday, but could not find the ice-cream place I remember loving so much around the Opera House. It is funny how certain things stick so strongly in your mind, while others don't - no surprise many of my memories are centered around ice-cream! : )
