Australia Adventure: Adored
We loved everywhere we went in Australia. The people are remarkable: polite, gracious, willing to help, cheerful. Even the TSA-equivalent personnel said, “Good morning, welcome to Sydney Airport,” as we moved toward the security check.
Sydney, the largest and probably most well-known of Australia’s cities, is also the capital of the state of New South Wales. Like the rest of the places we visited, we loved it! Stunning–from the iconic Harbour and Opera House to Bondi and other beaches. The CBD, in addition to skyscrapers, has a number of well-done conversions of old buildings into elegant and functional spaces. And the shopping…we tried to save that for Sydney as our last stop for packing and schlepping reasons. And, yes, we bought stuffed kangaroos for Mirah and Rivah.
