Today involved a great deal of walking. We went to the top of the sky tower (on the elevator, not stairs) for a 360 degree panoramic view of Sydney. We then walked to Circular Quay, thru' the Royal Botanic Gardens and back to our hotel. The Jacaranda trees are coming into bloom (see photo). While prices appear high, we are beginning to realize that, with tax included and no tipping, meals are not quite as pricey as we first thought. A$17 burger is equivalent to $14 at home.
