Tara and Rob: 4th Anniversary in Sydney

I know I've been slow on updating the blog, but we've been pretty busy moving into our new place (which I will show pictures of eventually!) and we've been slowed down by the fact that our internet provider has *still* not managed to show up to hook up our internet.

But I digress, you aren't here to hear my woeful rant, you're here to read and see how much fun we've been having getting settled in to Sydney.

I'm picking up where I left off; our 4 year wedding anniversary! Rob and I lined up a fantastic day of sightseeing that definitely kept us moving. We started off the morning at the Sydney Tower (Sydney's equivalent of the CN Tower). It's 1,014 ft above Sydney's CBD, is the tallest tower in Sydney and the 3rd tallest in Australia. We did this really cool thing called the Sky Walk, which had us putting on sexy blue onesies, strapping on a safety harness, and latching on to a track that brought us out on to the observation deck of the tower. The views from up there were unbelievable! We got a view of the city from a 360 tour of the observation deck. We could see our new neighborhood as well as all kinds of other areas surrounding the Sydney CBD. It was fantastic; and our tour guide was great, too!

Darling harbour (which we live right beside now) at night time. This image was part of the package we got from our Sky Walk tour. I'm sure you'll see more of them as the Blog goes on

Our tour guide, Rachel. She was absolutely lovely! You can see Matthew, our English tour mate (the only other person on the walk with us) over her right shoulder, and Rob and I over her left.

Rob loving the underwater tunnels with Mantas, sharks and other cool fish!

After the Sky Walk, we had lunch back at the apartment and then headed over to the Sydney aquarium. Rob had never been to an aquarium before, and I was so happy that he enjoyed it as much as he did. It was a really fun opportunity to learn about the local aquatic life, as well as relax in the soothing blues of aquatic lighting and the graceful movements of fish, jellyfish, manta rays and yes, even sharks. It was a absolutely wonderful!

Lobsters, Rock Fish and an octopus. Just some of the cool things we saw!

I loved watching Rob love what we was watching. It was such a joy to share this experience with him

Sting rays.... I could have watched them all day long.

After the Aquarium, we went to Madam Tussaud's, more as a novelty than anything else, and because we had paid for a pass that got us into the Sky Walk, Aquarium, Tussaud's, etc. We toured through quickly, but not before taking some fun pictures!

The end of the day saw us enjoying some drinks and then, of course, Sushi which commemorated our first date and every anniversary after that point. We had a lovely day being tourists in Sydney;
