Australia, Day 1

After a rather long flight, we arrived in Sydney at 6:30 in the morning -- and that meant staying awake for the rest of the day at all costs.
The hotel we are staying at is the Adina, in Surry Hills, a bit of a walk from the actual downtown center, and that is what we did -- walk.  According to one pedometric technology, at least 8 miles this first day.

Now, because of the limit on Internet use, I will only post a couple of pictures each day, but there will be more later.

The tour took us through Hyde Park, past and into the Anzac Monument, through some of the shopping areas and Sunday markets on the Rock, next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past Central Station with all the ferries, the opera house, through the Botanical Gardens and back to the hotel.

Later, we went back to the water (which you cannot miss, no matter which way to go) for a dinner-- some folks had 'roo, but its rareness did not entice me.  And after a light show in the harbor, we headed back home.

Missing:  One passport (magically appearing in LA)
