Sydney Harbour Bridge & Opera House

The last time I was in Sydney was 2004. I'm old.

I got a train in to the city centre and walked around the harbour to see the sights again. It's clearly very picturesque. It was also very hot, so I was trying to stay in the shade as much as possible.

I went for dinner with my godfather's daughter, Tina, and her husband Steve. I stayed with them back in 2004 and got thrown out of a pub for the first and only time of my life. I wasn't being too drunk or argumentative; I was just British and that was enough for the head bouncer (who then went on a rant about "poms"). Anyway, luckily there were no angry xenophobes around this time. I had such a lovely time catching up with them over some nice food and wine.

Sydney is pretty big and the train took me 1.5 hours to get home.
