Sydney’s Botanical Garden had a path that led directly to the Opera House. It was a hot and humid day, and as we were approaching, Marc and I could see how the beautiful construction’s perspective was coming into view. We were taking pictures each two metres of the way!
Behind the Opera House, we could see the Harbour Bridge coming into view. The bridge is a gigantic construction that is also an icon of the city of Sydney, if not all of Australia itself!
I remembered as I walked the episode of the TV comedy series “Facts of Life” when Blair, Natalie, Tootie and Joe went to Australia, and they were all excited while running up the outside stairs of the Opera House. There was a similar scene that was vague in my memory about the “Golden Girls”, but I wasn’t sure I really had seen that.
The big and wide stone stairs that led to the main entrance was exactly like I had pictured it in movies. We climbed up and went inside. There were lots of tourists around us. They must’ve been tourists, even the white ones, because they were all taking group and family pictures in front of the musical building.
We checked for shows. How cool would it be to watch a musical show at the one and only Opera House in Sydney! But somehow nothing inspired us from the list on the pamphlet. Maybe we would skip the show and concentrate on something else.
