Day 36, Thursday, February 16, 2006 The early flight from Auckland gave us most of the day in Sydney to look around. We walked north along Pitt Street from our hotel down to Sydney Harbour. The Queen Elizabeth II was in port and had drawn a large crowd. With the backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, it was spectacular sight. Two Aboriginal gentlemen were performing in the park nearby. We walked over to Darling Harbour on the west side of downtown where the Sydney Aquarium and the National Maritime Museum are located. There is a large promenade that crosses the harbour providing a great view of the area. We found a great Greek restaurant, the Diethnes, where Sharron had whitebait, a really small fish that she had been watching the menus for all the time we were in New Zealand. It was good. I enjoyed a pint of Toohey Extra Dry with an excellent dish of roast lamb with potatoes and pumpkin.
