Alan (my father-in-law) has a business associate who lives outside of Sydney. He came and picked us up in the morning and took us out on their boat for several hours. We went cruising around their 'neighborhood'. His parents live in a house on the lake but their house is built into the cliff (some of the rooms in basement have the exposed cliff wall as a wall). In order to get to the dock, you have to go down some very steep stairs or a little electric elevator/escalator. Our hosts were amazing with the day on the water and lunch/drinks. It was a little chilly but in the sun it was easy to forget about that.
Once we were dropped off at the train station, we made our way back to the city. We headed for Sydney's sky tower type building. I don't think I mentioned that in Melbourne, everything was labeled and you received a map so at each station, there was a number and your map told you exactly what you were looking at. Since we live and travel around Melbourne, we were aware of the buildings and sights. Sydney was a whole new ball game. There were no maps and no numbers. We really didn't know what we were looking at. There was also a newer building that obstructed our great view of the Opera House.

I'm assuming you were on the skinny little shadow of a tower to get these pictures?! Yikes!
