After the wildlife cruise, a bus was waiting to take us to the Penguin Place, where the rare Yellow-Eyed Penguins reside.

Dave and I spent a whole day at Darling Harbour, which is known for marvelous entertainment, delicious waterside dining and amazing wildlife. Darling Harbour is located in the heart of Sydney within walking distance from our hotel. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we enjoyed our morning stroll through the quiet as of yet, Sydney’s streets to the harbor and delicious coffee with pastries on the way.
We met penguins and dugongs at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and got up close to koalas at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo. I will tell all about the Sea Life Aquarium in the next post. Here I would like to share our experience in Wild life Sydney Zoo, where we walked through iconic Australian habitats and encountered some of the most loved, feared and unique animals.
Sydney is Australia’s famous harbour city and capital of New South Wales. We spent only 3 days in Sydney, but we were able to see the main attractions there. Sydney is a beautiful city and we explored it by walking everywhere. To me, there is no better way to feel a city’s atmosphere than by foot. First thing first, we started our journey by visiting Sydney Harbour with the gorgeous Opera House in it. That building is magical. I felt like I couldn’t get enough of it.
In this post I just want to mention some activities that we were involved recently, or we are still keeping up with. Starting in September, we had 5 kayaking classes through the Robert E Lee Recreation Center, which were a light workout and fun. We never tried kayaking before, but it was fairly easy on the nice and calm Lake Accotink. Besides, the weather was beautiful most of the time, which made our kayak rides even more enjoyable.
Pumpkin Season is here. While driving on Franconia Road, we noticed this cute Pumpkinville. This is a family owned business, which offers various Halloween decorations. We stopped there to enjoy their festive atmosphere with pumpkins, gourds, hay bales and mums.
