8th February, 2011

We started today by going to the Sydney Sky Tower, this is quite amazing being 260meters above the city streets. The views are breathtaking taking in 360 degree views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and way beyond! You wear a boiler suit and a harness as well as a safety chain attached to a rail. At certain points you walk out onto glass floor overhangs viewing the city below, a really good experience and we had perfect weather to do it.
To see more go to www.sydneytower.com.au
This also took in the Oz Trek which is a 180 degree cinema with motion seats and special effects taking you on a travel across Australia's history.
We also went to The Rocks which used to be Sydney's most squalid and dangerous area, but is now a beautiful centre of street markets and restaurants. Here we visited Cadman's Cottage which is Sydney's oldest serviving house, built in 1816.
In the evening we had a sunset cruise around the harbour whilst eating a lovely three course meal! Putting on too much weight with so much good food!! But we are enjoying every minute!
