Back on track! 15/1/2011

Today we made up for the lost day of yesterday.
First we took the train into Town Hall and walked to Darling Harbour where there are major attractions and the national maritime museum. 








We took the monorail which did a circle trip around the centre of the city, we were quite disappointed in that as we thought we would have nice views instead it was just going in between buildings and stopping at different attraction sites.  We got off from where we had started.



We then walked to the Chinese gardens which was built for celebrating the friendship between Australia and China.  It was a lovely garden so peaceful.





Next it was a walk to China Town where Pino had his lunch, I was on lemon tea!
Onto Paddy’s Market, which is an in door market but it was so crowded we didn’t stay long.
After we decided to visit once again The Rocks which was quite a long walk away so we took a bus as the weather was quite hot and humid.  The market was there once again and being an open market was much more enjoyable. 



We actually got to do what we had been hoping and that was to walk over the Harbour Bridge, wonderful views. 







So lets not forget the ferry ride.  On the other side of the bridge there was the Luna Park and a ferry quay where we could get back to Circular Quay.












A quick walk around the shops and then the train back home.

A nice steak for our evening meal and Buona Notte!
