Sydney - victim of my poor planning

Sydney is a fabulous city and I won't be able to do it justice in my post as I did not do it justice in my tour. I spent about 11.5 hours out and about and 10 hours of that time on my feet. I just didn't plan the day well.

I started off strong. The Sydney Opera House tour is a must do. We booked on-line so it was $26 vs. $35 in person. I love architecture and the Sydney Opera House has alot going for it. Every which way you looked the architecture is stunning. The lobbies, stair cases, concert halls, seats, bathrooms etc were all works of art. I could have wandered around in there for hours just looking at the details. Attached are some pics from the tour. If I ever get back to Sydney I am going to try and attend a performance there.

Of special note to me was how comfortable the seats were. They were designed by a surgeon and are the most comfortable I have ever sat in for a performance hall. In addition there was plenty of knee room which is unusual for performance seating. Unfortunately in one hall they are going to be installing computer screens behind each seat which will probably result in them replacing the seats.

At the beginning of the tour they take your picture. It is an unusually good picture package with your pic on the front of post cards, on a CD and of course the normal pics. You don't have to buy it but it is worth doing and then taking a look at.
