Day 39:🇦🇺Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
Sydney Harbor is one of the finest harbors in the world. I would have to agree. Carter was excited to see the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney’s skyline. Sydney is a very pretty city, and we are all very impressed. Of note, according to our guide, 70% of locals are fond of the Sydney Opera House, while 30% think of it as an eye sore 😅. As a matter of fact, some of the real estate near the Opera House declined in value when it was built. 😲We also learned that Australia’s Independence on January 1, 1901 from England was in a form of a letter, which was approved immediately. No wars. No hard feelings. We learned when we were in London, that the British used to send their convicts to Australia as a form of punishment from 1788-1868. 😲 We love learning about history! Today was Carter’s day. He spotted Five Guys from a mile away! 😂 His American palate was very satisfied, indeed.
