Jimmy Bats in Sydney - The Great Walk
I thought I might elaborate on Jim's introduction to Sydney. It would be useful to others coming to Sydney and looking for a good way to fill their day.
Jim is here for work, and I used to work with him in the New York office before I moved to Sydney. I had a rather late night on Saturday, but I was still chipper when I woke up after four hours sleep to show Jim around. I did a rather good job as tour guide, I must say, and managed to keep Jim awake until it was appropriate for him to fall asleep. I did walk him into the ground though:
- Met at his hotel, the Amora on Jamison in the CBD
- Walked to Circular Quay
- Continued around to the Opera House
- Through the Botanic Gardens to look at the trees, birds, spiders and bats
- Past St Mary's Cathedral
- Into Hyde Park for a break - Jim was lucky enough to hear a kookaburra here
- Back into CBD for a walk down Pitt Street to check out the Monorail
- Turned down to George and through the Queen Victoria Building
- Down King Street for a break in our apartment
- Over the Pyrmont Bridge for a view of Darling Harbour, King Street Wharf, Cockle Bay, Maritime Museum, Wildlife Park, and Aquarium
- Into Harbourside for a look at some didgeridoos and other Aboriginal Art, as well as kangaroo pelts, kargaroo claw back-scratchers and kangaroo scrotum change purses & bottle openers
- Around to Tumbalong Park to get a view of Sydney's interesting water sculptures and Northern Territory Information Centre
- Back through Cockle Bay to dwarbi's roof
- Deep into the Rocks for Little Creatures and pizza at The Australian Heritage Hotel
I had no camera last weekend since Dana borrowed it for her return to the United States of America, so I've included a photo of shoes that makes it look like you're a bear to make this post more visually appealing. I hope you enjoy it.
Actually, here's a map that corresponds to the walk above:
