We embraced our inner tourists on our second day in Sydney and visited all the major attractions. I LOVE that public transportation there is on open-air boats and not underground in stinky subways or on grimy buses. The transport is almost as fun as the destination!
We headed straight for the famous Sydney Opera House. What a stunning innovation in architecture. The inside is just as beautiful and intriguing as the outer shell.

After the Opera House, we toured the Rocks district and visited some historic homes. Then Eric surprised me with a trip to the Sydney Wildlife Park to meet the KOALAS!!! While we were there, we also got to meet our first wombat and kangaroos in Sydney.
After the Wildlife Park, we headed next door to the Sydney Aquarium. Let me just say, I find fish fascinating, but I discovered that I harbor a deeply irrational fear of sharks. Maybe it has something to do with the rows and rows of sharp, jagged, needle-teeth. Those spiral shells I'm touching in the water below are actually shark eggs. Weird, gross, cool.
I also re-discovered that I'm married to a total goon as he insisted that I photograph him climbing inside the old diving apparatus. There's a bench inside that the occupant is supposed to stand upon to see out the glass face window, so you can easily infer the audience's intended age range. I guess some little boys never fully grow up, and I sure am glad that I found one of them. He makes everything new and fun and exciting!
I love you, Eric!
