Today was our second of our six days in Sydney, Australia. Luckily, our room rate included free breakfast or else it would've been 29 dollars per person per day! The breakfast was AMAZING, pictures are below. After that, we explored the Royal Botanical Gardens as well as Mrs. Macquarie's Point and Chair, both with beautiful views of the Harbor and Opera House. Next, we walked to St. Mary's Cathedral to have mass. We then took a beautiful cruise over the Harbor on Rosman Ferries, and of course, I took plenty of pictures. After the cruise, we walked to the Hyde Park Barracks, a house that was once a prison work camp, followed by a immigration asylum, a governmental building, and finally, a museum . The place is said to be haunted by all the dead prisoners and mom and I definitely heard lots of eerie noises (bangs, whispers, etc.) with nobody else in the building but one lady worker (we came at closing time). We next walked to a pizza restaurant called the Darling Pizzeria and saw around the Darling Harbor, another beautiful place (Especially at night!) After dinner we went back to our hotel to go to relax and go to bed. In case your wondering, we walked a little over 8 miles today! It's great exercise to burn off all the food we've been eating. Stay Tuned tomorrow for our next Adventure packed day!
