We arrived late into Sydney Airport and went straight to our Hotel; Simpsons of Potts Point. It is a small place with only 12 rooms. When I booked, Keith, one of the owners of the hotel, talked me into booking an extra day, saying that Sydney is the most beautiful harbor in the world and there are too many things not to be missed. Our hotel is ideally situated for a walking tour of the city and for the last few days we have been doing plenty of walking. I have to agree with Keith, it is the most beautiful harbor (at least that I have seen). On the first day, the weather was great, but even on the days that have been rainy, the harbor and its many landmarks still shine with things to do. My wife and I are not really city people, but Sydney is different. It has beautiful scenery and not just buildings. Even though there are crowds at the famous sites, compared to other cities, it just does not feel crowded. Without having to worry about parking, we have just followed our good old-fashion paper map and we have gotten almost everywhere we have wanted to go on foot.
