Mary has me so busy touring that I haven't been able to get to the blog. Thursday 17,000 steps. Friday 21,000 steps. and Saturday 22,000 steps. Our goal today is to hang out around Sydney Harbor which is one of the most beautiful in the world. The Harbor is where the Sydney Opera House is located and of course, the Harbor Bridge. I took so many pictures of the Bridge and the Opera House that they kept showing up all the time.
We took the ferry out to Manly Beach and hung out there for most of the morning. Here is the view from the back of the ferry.
Manly Beach is right out at the entrance to Sydney Harbor. It reminded us of the vibe of Key West. We loved walking along the beach and found a terrific restaurant with beautiful fish and a view to match.

We rode the ferry back to Circular Quay in Sydney and then decided to start riding public transport. It was so easy and the tram let us out a block from our hotel. After a short rest, we decided to walk the Sydney Harbor Bridge. We rode the train to the other side of the bridge and then walked back.

| Just getting started |
The views of the harbor and the Opera House from the bridge were amazing. Here are a few of the 100's of pics I took. I went a little wild.
As we approached the other side we noticed some commotion happening down below.

| What a lucky bride and groom! |
We walked around an area called The Rocks.

| Another "bridge pic" |
And ate at an Irish Pub. The whole area was rocking on this Friday night, the day before the celebration of Mardi Gras on Saturday.
 |
| Nothing like a refreshing Guinness. |

And then we took the train back to our hotel. But not before another pic of the bridge from the platform.
Only 21,000 steps today. Tomorrow we plan to hit the botanical gardens and take a look at Mardi Gras in the evening. Spoiler alert - it was wild! Stay tuned.
