  On our first day off and with our first chance to check out the sights we decided that we better start at the being and do the main ones first. So we wandered down to Darling Harbour to catch a ferry round under the bridge to Circular Quay. At Darling Harbour there was an Easter festival going on with loads of street performers, acrobats and kids entertainers so we hung out there for a bit before moving on. 06 - Juniour acrobats

The pictures from the ferry are probably better than waffling on about it. The only problem was that it wasn't brilliant blue sky. 10 - First sights of Sydney harbour bridge

Landing at Circular Quay we were a bit hungry and so wandered around the Rocks to try and find a bite to eat. 13 - The rocks in the rain

 But just as Julesy was tucking into her sarnie a seagull swooped down and stole it from her!!! She was so upset :-(

After our traumatic lunch we did the Opera house, the Botanical Gardens and Mrs Macquaries Point. Again I think the pics are better. 14 - Looking back out to the bridge
