Another fine day, much enjoyed. Too late and too tired for much more than a list:
Breakfast in the Botanical Garden, followed by a guided walk. One of the guides was an Aboriginal man, Clarence, who is apparently quite well known from his television appearances on Gardening Australia. In addition to info about native uses of plants, we got a demo of didgeridoo playing, including circular breathing while singing into the instrument. Other guide, Jenny, was a passionate gardener, whose enthusiasm was contagious.
Walked on the Sydney Harbor Bridge (just on the deck, not on the girders)
Museum of Contemporary Art
Chinatown for the evening opening of the two-week long Lunar New Year celebration. Yummy food from a bunch of vendors and performances of traditional songs and dances by Musicians from Australia and China.
So funny about the picture in your hotel room. Opera House was my favorite in Sydney. Lots of pics of the tiles. I look forward to reading your blog each time. Have fun!
