Sydney was so much fun

Our first stop on the trip was Sydney. I have to say it was a really long flight. 7.5 hrs to Dubai, 6 hrs in Dubai, 6.5 hrs to Bankok, 1.5 hrs in Bankok, 7hrs to Sydney. By the time we got there we really didn't care about much except sleep. We left Lagos 4:40 PM Sunday and got to our hotel about 10 AM Tuesday. We go to check in and the lady at the dest told us that our room wouldn't be ready until 3 PM, boo on the Grace Hotel in Sydney. Once we finally had an evening to sleep we were ready to see the town.

We took a lunch cruise that sailed around the harbor. It seems like everwhere we go we find a way to get on a boat somehow, but it was really cool to see the harbor and all the fancy houses around. It was pretty cloudy that day but this photo of the bride and the opera house turned out pretty good


We had to get a shot next to the really big sign.



hey we can pretend that we were on the real world (are we the only dorks that watched this show, I don't know but we really like it)



A nice view from the Sydney Tower. I like to be really high above things.



We did the bride climb, it was cool. We weren't allowed to bring our camera on the climb becasue we were directly over traffic and cameras could very easily fall and hit oncoming traffic. they could just make sure you have it on a strap but then they would be able to sell thier own pictures to anyone (they wanted like 60 bucks for 2 photos, we didn't buy the pictures we just have the good memories)


If Eric was on the trip with me this sign would be hanging in my living room right now


Suzanne fell in love on the trip (can you make out the sign four floors of shoes)



We stopped at a little diner by the beach. They had a pretty good breakfast.


I got some tea while I was there because they drink tea there so why not. After a while we started to get used to drinking tea, but I think now back in Nigeria we'll be back to coffee


You can't say you've been to Sydney without a picture of the Opera house in the background. We got a bunch from many different angles

I always think Sydney is fun...

Looks like you had a really good time. Love the picture in front of the opera house.
