Free Saturday and we decided to take the ferry into downtown Sydney, or as they call it the CBD (central business district). We went straight under the Sydney Harbor Bridge AKA the "Coathanger" and I could see the opera house going around the corner. It was crazy to finally see something in person after having seen so many photos of it; I was kind of surprised to see that it actually exists! We were pretty hungry when we got off, so we had some Gozleme, which is like a Turkish quesadilla with spinach and mushrooms. As we were finishing those, a free walking tour of Sydney happened to be going by so we just tagged along with that. It lead us through the Rocks, which is the oldest section of Sydney and was built pretty much entirely by convicts who had been deported there from England for offenses like stealing a loaf of bread. We also saw the church where Elton John married a lady prior to coming out. After that we ended up walking the span of the Harbor Bridge back to the train station. Overall a really fun day but I'm pretty much in the mood to sit around for the rest of the night doing not much of anything.
