I know I know I know. No one wants
to be a bloody tourist, but we all are. “Nah, won’t do it, that's just for "tourists." This is a typical "tourist trap."
I really can’t say it often enough, I like being a "tourist-in"
because being a "tourist" is so much nicer than sitting at home and
watch TV. Most people dream to see Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales
in Australia at least once in their lifetime. Dunno what they expect, they
arrive at the airport and turn into a Sydneysider that instant? That is most
certainly not going to happen, so everyone calm down and come with me on this
very touristy (just saying) but very lovely day in Sydney. It is so worth the
trip. Whenever I think of Sydney I think of the colour blue, read on and you
will find out why.
Prepare for your day in Sydney
Preparation for the day might go like this: Unpack suitcase,
brush your teeth, take a shower, check the weather ten times, change your
shoes four times, repack handbag twice, stow
passport in the safe, put sandals on, oh no,
rather sneakers. Rubbish,
we are in Australia, put the sandals on again, now the pants
won’t go with the shoes, another change of clothes, nevertheless
pack sneakers just
in case it starts to rain,
meaning you will have to carry them the whole time?
Road map, guide book, hang camera around your neck ... The pants won’t go with the sneakers, looks like in the end you decide to leave them in the room. Do you need a jacket? Batteries for the camera … and off you go.

Sydney - Could life be any better?
Your day begins with a bus
trip to Bondi North. Here you can eat breakfast first, there are plenty
of cafes. You will need energy for the day ahead. Perfect can’t go any better.
Go for a leisurely walk at Bondi Beach. This is probably
Australia's most famous beach. End the beach walk at Icebergs right at the beginning of the beach. Have a cappuccino while drinking in the
stunning view over the pool, the beach and the ocean.
Walk along Tamarama and Bronte Bay
Believe it or not, it is true, there are people in this world who live here. Take a short bus ride to the suburb of Paddington. Go for a stroll and have lunch. From here you take another brief bus ride to Circular Quay. Jump onto a ferry to Manly, take pictures of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge while on board. Take it all in, the breeze, the blue sea and the vast sky. In Manly go for a beach walk, watch the surfers, have a sunset drink at the beach or even better at the pier.
Take the ferry back to the Circular Quay
Walk over to the Opera Bar, grab another drink, look at the bats flying out of the city over your head, the bridge and the Opera house. Life couldn’t be any better, right?
