Sightseeing in Sydney

---

My first day in Sydney startet with rain. Yesterday evening I arrived in Australia. I just checked in into a hotel and did nothing interesting. Today in the morning I looked out of the window und saw it was raining. Before I travelled I hadn't thaught that I had to use my rain jacket in Australia. Now I am happy that I have this jacket here.

On my way to the Sydney Opera house I walked through the Royal Botanic Garden. There are many big trees and a lot of flowers. The entry is free and I liked to walk between the beautiful nature. It was warm but wet. You can see the Harbour Bridge behind the houses from the park. In the harbour Queen Elizabeth is anchoured. The Opera is a big building and a lots of tourist were arround it. I walked through the quarter The Rocks with a lot of benches but you cannot stop there because of the rain. On the Harbour Bridge I saw a few groups of Bridge Climbers. The advertising for this is everywhere.

In February till the begin of March here is Mardy Gras. Queen Elizabeth has a big banner with "Happy Mardy Gras". In Sydney Mardy Gras is like Christopher Street day in Cologne. Today there is a parade. I watched it one hour, but there were too many people. I couldn't see very much. Some people were dressed up. Many rainbow colors and people about people. Everyone with a camera/smartphone/tablet like the rest of the day during sightseeing.

It was an interesting day.

I will see what the other days do.
