I visited Sydney back in 2008 to visit a friend of mine. I ended spending three days in Sydney. It goes without saying that I visited most of the main sights of the city: Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and The Rocks (one of the first neighbourhoods of Sydney) and Chinatown. What I enjoyed most was the coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee.

Chinatown

My biggest regret when I left China was that I didn’t take a shot of the lion with the cub underneath her paw. There’s something adorable about these statues in front of all Chinese buildings. Luckily, I managed to make up for it in Sydney’s Chinatown.

The Rocks & Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Rocks are one of the oldest parts of the city. It’s fun to walk around here, but mainly because you can see the Harbour Bridge from here.

Sydney Opera House

This is probably the most famous sight of the city. I obviously didn’t skip it.

I quite liked the photo shoot of a wedding on the steps of the Opera House.

Sydney Coastal Walk

As I stated in the introduction, the fact that I actually went to visit a friend who was studying in Sydney at the time made the visit extra special. She lived in Coogee so we decided to take the short coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee (5 km). It was a pity that the weather in Sydney was terrible that day, so instead of basking in the sunshine we had to master the rain on our walk, but it offered some amazing sights nevertheless.

I would have loved to swim in this pool!

My obsession with cemeteries worsens; but this is one that I didn’t actually go out of my way to look for. It was on the coastal walk path.

The final stop was the Lunar Park amusement park. Not really worth a visit during anyone’s stay in Sydney to be honest. I could’ve easily done without this attraction, maybe it’s nice for children but not for adults. The entrance to the park is quite remarkable though.

Conclusion

It was nice to spend a few days in Sydney before out day trip to the Blue Mountains, which you can read in the next article.
