Earlier this week I headed into Sydney to have a look around. I headed first to Hyde Park to have a look around and wait for the museums to open. Hyde park is a lovely place for a walk and a great place for people watching.
At 10am I headed to the Australia Museum. It is basically a natural history museum. Admission is $10. The exhibits are old school (lots of things piled in display cases) and not particularly exciting or informative. Though I did learn that more than 80% of Australia's plants and amimals are unique to Australia. With a statistic like that this museum should be much more interesting.
After lunch I walked to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It has free admission. I had museum fatigue by the time I got there and so did not really take much in. It is free so I can go back.
By the time I left the gallery it was time to try to find my way across the harbour to Milson's point to meet Gavin. This took me through the Royal Botanic Gardens. Very beautiful (and also free). Upon exiting the gardens the easiest thing would have been to take a train across the Harbour Bridge. I thought it might be nice to walk across the bridge. It was about 4pm when I started looking for the way to walk across (I had been on my feet since 8am). After taking several wrong paths I was on my way at 4:45. It is a lovely view from the bridge and a nice walk.
All in all in was a nice day in the city. After all that walking I went home and slept like a baby.
