"A breath of fresh air" Sydney by clueless83
Sydney Travel Guide: 5,744 reviews and 13,367 photos
We touched down in Sydney just after sunrise, after a tiring flight from Thailand. The first thing I did when I stepped out of the airport and onto the street was to take a deep lung-full of fresh air after spending the last couple of days breathing in polluted Bangkok air. It was a relief to be on Australian soil.
Sydney is unlike any other city I have been to but at the same time it felt familiar to me. I can see why so many people choose to emigrate to here, Sydney is a city but when you're soaking up the sun in Darling Harbour or taking a stroll around the Chinese Gardens, its easy to forget the hectic world outside. The people are friendly, as is the atmosphere, a breath of fresh air indeed.
- Pros:City, beaches, gardens, harbours, landmarks - all rolled into one!
- Cons:Hmm... the weather could have been a little warmer for us but thats kind of irrelevant
- In a nutshell:Everything you could want from a holiday!

Love your photo's! The Opera house one is fantastic, not many people would get a nice one like that, also love the Giraffe's. Nice one of you dressed up, can't remember that when I was there years ago. Glad you had a good time!
so you had a pretty good time in Sydney? - great
