Neat-o! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Means, they get more peace and will be left alone by annoying tourists <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> A pity fo the tourists and good for the eucalyptus-eaters <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> The zoo hint seems to be a suitable idea and so is the cathedral. Unfortunately I just have 2 days in Sydney, as this is a stop over on my way to NZ - all part of going round the world (Singapore, Sydney, New Zealand South Island with guided bus tour, North Island on my own, then on a container ship via Chile through Panama Channel to Philadelphia, than visiting friends in Boston, then some Jazz in NYC and back home to Berlin/Germany). I already have a booking on that kinda typical tourist sightseeing tour including everything like Harbour Bridge, Opera, Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay, Milsons Point, Manly Beach, harbour cruise, The Rocks, Bondi Beach and Paddington... So this is the first day and on the second day I'll have a look at the Zoo and some cultural stuff... I think I'm gonna take the cabs - clogged traffic is standard in Berlin, so I'm used to this and 40/50 $ is OK taking into respect thatI am travelling with some 25-30kg of luggage due to the fact, that I am amateur photographer and I'll be on tour some 9 weeks ;-) So also bushwalking and stuff is not really made for me, as I am old and overweight and when I get to Sydney I will jump from autumn right into spring, which surely will be a little bit exhausting. This also kinda rules out the bridge climbing - and also I am awfully freightened of the height (the Berlin area in fact is enormously flat...). I saw a report on these ppl on top of the bridge - sure is great, but I wanna live ;-) So, yes, I stay in the middle of the city - at least the hotel (Leisure Inn Sydney) is supposed to be in walking distance of Sydney downtown. Would there be any recommendable jazz pub or club or bar for the evening? Thanks again for making all these suggestions, chatting with the wife (I hope you do that on a regular base <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />) and maybe we bump into each other at the beginning of september. Should you see some rather tall (2m - a south korean once called me "multidiemsnional") german guy with lots of grey hair and some ridiculously large Canon lenses, it probably could be me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Greets and regards - also to the wife! Axel <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
