Yesterday I had a friend visiting. Debbie and I used to work together in Toronto 17 years ago at the Royal York Hotel and haven't seen each other ever since. Thanks to facebook we touched base again just a few months ago.
Debbie was on her away from Vancouver to Wellington, NZ and had about 7 hours spare in Sydney. So what do you do if you have only 7 hours in Sydney.
We started off at Mr Ts City Pat in Potts Point and Debbie was blown away by the view :) We then went along Victoria St, took the stairs down to Woolloomooloo, passed Harrys Cafe de Wheel, which is a Must Stop and famous for its Hot Dogs and Pies, mmmh and continued towards the Royal Botanic Gardens. I Love the RBG for its spectacular view of the City and Harbour, its diversity of plants and trees and the fruit bats hanging of trees - such interesting creatures. Once passed through the RBG, there it was, the Opera House, world famous and surely one of the most photograhed structures in the world - we took at least 10 pix! Debbie then took the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly, which is another Must Do and a great way to explore the beautiful Sydney Harbour. She went to see her 80 year old Aunt for lunch and it turned out that her Aunt has not been to the City side for 24 years - bless. I picked Debbie up from Circular Quay 3 1/2 later and drove her to the airport where she caught her connecting flight to Wellington. I hope next time Debbie visits I will have more time to show her around.

Kudos to you! It sounds like you really fit a lot in today. It's funny, living in Sydney, I know I've begun to take our beautiful city for granted, and it usually takes being a tour guide for a day to actually appreciate how gorgeous it is here. Sounds like you had a great day, LeOpard :)
She had wonderful weather too-imagine if it had been pouring with rain-that would have changed her view of Sydney somewhat-next time the Bridge Climb maybe...
Sounds like you had a wonderful time Leopard. Did the puddy kat enjoy himself??
Just as well the sun was out!!! Harbour with the sun is just magical!! So proud to be living in Sydney!
I love Sydney too and really never take it for granted. To me it's the most beautiful city in the world especially on a sunny day on the harbour.
The best thing about living in Sydney is that there is so much to show a visitor and every time you show it, you enjoy it as well. Wow you covered a lot.
