Great Ocean Road 26 Jan 2011


Sydney - 22 Jan 2011

As the Australian trip was coming to an end we planned a quick hurried trip to Sydney .....it was definitely worth it !!


Loved the Cruise , loved the sight of Opera House and loved the concept of Hop-on Hop-Off sightseeing.
On the Cruise -- !!


The hopon Hopoff allows for multiple trips on the cruise and ofcourse we did multiple trips and loved every minute of it.
There are many cruises available , the one that comes packaged with the deal is from circular Quay to/from Manly beach
Monorail in Sydney --- Watch the Incredible India ad !














The monorail is a an interesting exp ,  a short trip, interesting ticketing feature and passes so close to the buildings ! And ofcourse you can see a bit India being advertised there !!

The Opera House ..


And the Harbour Bridge ... for a few (?) extra bucks you can actually go up the bridge ....it is a guided trip and takes 3/4 hrs ....
