Aquarium then China Town

After the Blue Mountain Tour Bryon and I went off on our own for the afternoon. We headed down to the Sydney Aquarium to have a look around. We really enjoyed it, but there were lots of people. We then hopped on the Monorail and rode across the Harbor to China Town. This area reminded me of a few things. #1: When you are walking through the mall and they try and recruit you to eat at their restaurant #2: The items they sell there are like those at the flea market. Cheap and in bulk. We did not buy any souvenirs from there because everything was so cheaply made.
We ate at a great restaurant upstairs off the street with an open window view of the street below. It had AC upstairs as well, which was not something common in the restaurants in Australia in general. Most of the restaurants were outside with lots of sail type covers over the top and fans to cool you off. Ultimately we picked this particular restaurant in China Town because it had pretty lights hanging outside. This is so me :0) After we ate, we walked back up George Street which was quite a haul. We walked through the Queen Elizabeth building and took photos of the great architecture there. Another great day in Sydney!
