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.
