I had some friends from Seattle come and stay for a week, so I took a week off work and did the tourist thing with them.
We did all the stuff I tell my Airbnb guests to do. We did the walk from Manly to The Spit, the South Head walk (with a beer at the Watsons Bay pub at the end), the Maritime Museum, a couple of art galleries, the South Pylon lookout, Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi, I borrowed a small ferry from a mate and we went boating, we saw a show at the Opera House and we ate at my favourite local places. It was great fun. Felt odd getting up in the morning and putting on holiday clothes and catching my usual commuter train into into the city.
It confirmed my theory that Sydney is a 10 day city i.e. it takes 10 days in the summer to see a good chunk of it. Rome, New York and London are 10 day cities, too.
