We spent yesterday evening walking around Darling Harbour and various waterfront areas. Had mediocre Chinese food (it's was the hotel's recommendation) and went to bed around 9:30pm...so not that much different than home for me. Was awakened to the sound of the hotel fire alarm system going off. Turned out to be a false alarm - but it was 6am and so with 9 hours of sleep we went exploring for coffee and Lattes - walked past the botanical gardens and several major historical buildings. Came back to the room to get camera and supplies and will head back and take pictures. Dinner this evening is on the waterfront overlooking the Sydney Opera House - a very romantic way to spend Valentines day! Made reservations a week ago and barely got in.
What I'm noticing most is the true mix of architectural styles - very contemporary next to very classic traditional. Everyone is very hospitable and my favorite phrase so far is "No Worries" (coming from the Customs agent no less). The concept of no worries is so foreign to my personality...kinda fun to contemplate though!
