Riding High in Sydney
The most interesting thing to do in Sydney is to see it by Helicopter. Not only by Helicopter, but with a Helicopter with the doors off ! The IMAX Theater and the Sydney Aquarium pale in comparison.
It was truly a frightening tour to fly in a helicopter without doors. I was scared when the pilot turned the helicopter to the right, because I was sitting in the front on the right side of the pilot. So, when the helicopter went right at a 90 degree angle, I let out a scream, but it was more like a thrilling scream and all the while I was thinking what if my seatbelt broke.
Yesterday, I went to Darling Harbor and visited the Sydney Aquarium, the Maritime Museum and the IMAX Theater. There was never a moment were I was bored. There’s so much to do at Darling Harbor, both for the locals and the tourist. The aquarium was outstanding. The exhibitions at the Maritime Museum would’ve been outstanding if I was into boats, but I’m not. At the IMAX, I watched a 3D movie about the Deep Sea. The filming was beautiful, but I was tired and sitting in a comfortable sofa made it hard to stay awake. The guy next to me fell asleep! After that, I later did some shopping and then went to Star City to play the slot machines. Then I got to have a free dinner there, that was really great! The free dinner had something to do with all the credits I had from the slot machines. I had the roast beef, of course! I’m beginning to like Star City just as much as Sydney. Heading back, I walked past some boutique hotels Sydney Australia has right next to Darling Harbor and wandered inside the lobby of one just to see what the difference is between my hotel and a boutique hotel. Huge, the difference was huge! So beautiful and inviting. I think next time I come to Sydney, I’ll have to make reservations here.
