We walked to Lady Macquarie's Chair and ended up finding this great site to take a photo of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Sarah also took an amazing panoramic with her camera, but I haven't gotten that photo yet!
In the Royal Botanical Gardens, we saw a wedding! It was just starting when we walked by and we felt really bad for them. They were essentially almost in a zoo since any tourists that walked by would stop and stare. The worst was this mom and 2 kids who were set up exactly behind the bride and groom and wouldn't move. They were ruining their pictures because otherwise they would have had a perfect view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
As we walked around the Botanical Gardens, Sarah was pointing out flowers left and right! She was very excited to see the different varieties, but I had barely ever noticed all of them before. I must have forgot to tell her that bats fly around at night in the area because at one point, we looked up and there were hundreds of bats in the trees. Sarah got extremely worried and started running ahead since she thought the bats were going to dive down and attack her!
We took our time through the Rose Garden and took some beautiful photos of the roses that were in bloom!
After our walk around the Royal Botanical Gardens, we headed back to Bain to meet David, Casey and Nicole. The five of us were going to Tasmania for the weekend!! Poor Sarah had barely been in Sydney for less than 12 hours and she was already getting back onto a plane.
I was impressed at how she was never too jetlagged. She took a small nap on the plane to Hobart, before I woke her up to let her know that there was an empty seat next to us. After arriving in our motel/apartment, she managed to stay up until 10:30/11 PM, which was very impressive! Even better was the fact that she never woke up at 5 AM and couldn't go back to sleep like most of us.
Coming up next time: Photos of our time in Tasmania!!
