In Sydney |
After settling in my hostel in King's Cross, I headed out with my camera to see the Sydney sights.
I walked through the lush Royal Botanic Garden that boarders the glorious Sydney Harbor. The attitude in the Gardens is as relaxed as the Australians--note the amazing sign "Please walk ON the grass."
There were hundreds of joggers in the park; maybe it's just the city, but Australians seem more fit than Americans. The Royal Botanic Gardens = Central Park, only with better vistas of the Sydney Harbor.
The Opera House is a surprising shade of cream, not the pearly white featured in pictures. I was told that the coloration was due to age. Architect Jorn Utzon apparently drew inspiration for the design from an orange peel -- so if the darkening continues, the Opera House will soon become an orange not only in shape but also in color!
