(View the best of my Sydney photos here.)
Our final full day in Sydney we had most of the day to ourselves to explore wherever we wanted so we got up first thing in the morning and walked down to Paddington Market, a higher end market that is only open one day a week and features all types of custom jewelry, clothing, and all types of artwork. It was amazing to see all the different types of artwork and jewelry they had and so inspiring to see all the paintings and photographs on display. After spending a few hours at the market, we figured out the bus system and headed down to Bondi Beach, by far the most beautiful beach we’ve seen in Australia. The beach itself was absolutely packed with people and the water was an unreal shade of turquoise and absolutely packed with people.
As much as we wanted to stay and hangout on the beach, we had heard about an amazing cliff walk that connected several beaches and we wanted to see what it was all about. The walk turned out to be an absolutely breathtaking experience. As we walked along the cliffs from one beach to another, it was hard to believe that so much beauty could all be so close together! To say it was amazing would be an absolutely understatement, there simply aren’t words to describe how beautiful it was!
From there we hurried back to our hotel to get ready for our evening harbor cruise. After getting all dolled up we headed down to Darling Harbour where we boarded an amazing boat that had shuttled ESPN employees around during the Sydney Olympics. From the boat we watched the sunset over the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, an absolutely breathtaking sight! After a delicious meal, we disembarked and headed into Sydney to experience the first night of the Sydney Festival, unfortunately we were a bit late and after walking through throngs of people headed in the opposite direction, we accepted that we had missed the festivities and called it a night since we still had to pack up the hotel to get ready for our trip up to the Gold Coast.
