11 years ago during my short stay in Sydney I met Michal – the traveller who later walked alone thousands kilometers in America and Australia. Great man! His solo expeditions are unmotorized! 11 years ago he invited me to stay at his home. Today I had a chance to meet him again. Memories…. We were talking about the achievements and our plans. Thank you Michal and good luck on your future trails!
When it was time to say goodbye I and my companion we walked to the Maritime Museum located in picturesque Pyrmont Bay with many interesting ships: there is huge destroyer and submarine, luxurry government yacht and replica of James Cook’s sailship “Endeavour”. From the museum you can take a great pictures of Sydney’s skyline:
“Endeavour” is a legend so I decided to have a picture in front of the replica of the ship, who did so many discoveries around the Pacific:
Leaving the museum we crossed the bay by Pyrmont Bridge entering Sydney’s CBD. Many skyscrapers were built recently here… We decided to take the lift (40 AUD pp) to the observation deck of Sydney Tower Eye. The whole tower is 309 m high, the deck is on the level of 250 m. There is a great 360 deg. view of the whole city. Panoramic windows are clean and it was clear, sunny day today to enjoy the landscape in full.
Above picture shows the tower from the ground. We returned to the hotel by foot. It is tome for rest – tomorrow we are taking the train back to Queensland!
