A good day today, we rode the open topped tour bus around Sydney, hopping on and off at various points. We've oggled the Opera house, mooched around the market, and chowed-down in Chinatown. Finished the day with carols sung in front of a giant neon Christmas tree in Darling Harbour, which felt surreal not only because we were sitting in T-shirts but because of the flying-fox bats circling the tree overhead.
Sydney still feels very relaxed, especially as this is the peak shopping/party time. If only Oxford St in London was this quiet 3 Saturdays before Christmas.
Annie succinctly summed up Sydney's mix of modern and quaint architecture, chilled vibe and nautical flavour by describing it as "like Bristol, but with sunshine".
