Hello again! I have had a very busy few days recently, as my friends from Scotland (that I met in Japan) have been down to visit. After they had checked into the hostel I work at, we went off to explore Darling Harbor, with me acting as tour guide. We took the long route round, ending up walking under the Harbor Bridge and coming up alongside the Opera House. Photos to added soon!
