As soon as we arrived, we went out to explore. It was so nice to wear sleeves and pants again! We stayed in Circular Quay and were very close to Sydney Opera House and The Harbour Bridge.
Day One
We spent our first full day in Sydney exploring the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. Our traveling buddies the Heinrichs joined us. We started in Bondi and had some fun in the large cold waves before eating lunch at The Bucket List. Then we trekked along the coast making our way to Coogee where we stopped for dinner.

Day Two- We checked out the Sydney Opera House, walked through the Botanic Garden, toured some local neighborhoods, and had dinner in Darling Harbour.

Day Three- We "hired" a van with the Heinrichs and drove to Featherdale Wildlife Park and then onto the Blue Mountains. It was Josh's first time driving on the 'wrong' side of the car and road. It was my first time seeing a wombat. And, the girls first time hiking a mountain. Also a first, petting the koalas and kangaroos.

Day four- We took a 40 minute ferry ride to Manly beach. The water was pretty chilly, but the girls enjoyed climbing the rocks and playing in the tide pools.
Day Five- We loved the beach walk so much, we went back and did it again. This time we started at Coogee Beach and walked to Bondi. It was a warm day and the ocean was full of surfers.
Day Six- We spent our last day wandering around the city again. We also walked across the Harbour Bridge. The girls were not old enough to do the bridge climb that takes you to the top, but we loved Sydney so much we've decided we'll go back and do that next time.
