We had friends over from Germany who visited us for a couple of days. It was great to show places I like but also to be a bit of a tourist myself in the city I live in.

Here are a few snapshots of the more touristic things we did....

#1-3 Around and in the Opera House

#4 Pantomime at Circular Quay

#5 Giraffes at Taronga Zoo. I was amazed how beautiful this zoo was and you get an amazing few over Sydney too.

#6 lilac

#7 We had dinner at Din Tei Fung and the hour wait was so worth it. They make the best dumplings, if you have the chance to go and eat there...you should really do it!

#8 The lonely swimmer. It was quiet windy on Saturday and we walked along the cliffs from Bondi to Bronte. The waves were really high and we watched the surfers having fun with them.

#9 On our way back from Manly we came closer to the opera and it felt like standing in front of a famous painting in a museum with so many people standing there and taking pictures :)

#10 Sydney, you are a beauty
