On our way home from the airport, our resident Aussie James decided to give us an impromptu tour of a few places we had not seen yet in Sydney.
We were a bit tired from the journey but the detour was totally worth it!
Our first stop was Harry's cafe. It's a tiny little cafe on the waterfront east of the Royal Botanical Gardens. It's a local favorite and a place you would only find with an Aussie to guide you!
Harry's serves only a few things, like meat pies and hot dogs. So we had to try the classic.
This is the Tiger - a mini meat pie, with a flaky crust, covered in mashed potatoes and mashed peas with gravy. Very tasty!
Then we were off to our second stop - the Hermitage Foreshore Walk. Check out the view!
It was a bit cloudy that night but it was still jaw dropping.
You can see all of downtown, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the north shore! Wow! It is a very secluded little beach tucked away in fabulous neighborhood.
I could not get over the view.
Our next stop was one of the historic lighthouse that sits on the coast of the south shore.
Here is the view looking out into the Tasman Sea
Our last stop was the tip of the south shore - Gap Bluff. This is where you can overlook the gap between the north and south shores and where every ship coming onto Sydney harbour enters.
The rocks were gorgeous and powerful as the waves crashed into them
Looking into the gap
On the way down from the viewpoint, the city lights shone bright. What a stunning skyline even with all the cloud cover.
