Sydney is hot!! And this is still spring! Temperature hit 97 degrees today. We stopped for ice cream several times - we had the perfect excuse today.
The morning wasn't too bad. we took the Opera House tour - very interesting construction history and amazing interior architecture.The concrete, wood and metal interior structure is art by itself. We were so fascinated by the beauty of the stages (which we unfortunately couldn't photograph as they had sets installed) that we bought tickets for the matinee performance tomorrow of "Anything Goes", the Cole Porter musical currently playing on the Joan Sutherland stage. (There are at least three main stages at the Opera House).

After an ice cream, we took the ferry to the Taronga Zoo on the north shore. The heat had built up by now, so we moved from shade patch to shade patch. It's a magnificent zoo with natural habitats. We focused primarily on the Australian animals and still spent several hours there. As it was the last day of school break, there were lots of kids there (and lots of strollers). We were finally wiped out, so we headed back on the ferry, had some more ice cream, and came back to the hotel.
Doing laundry now - almost finished - so it's time to go look for a restaurant. More tomorrow (maybe).
