There’s just something fun about coming back to Sydney. If you’ve never been, it’s almost like the 1980s are still alive. By that I mean people are friendly, folks aren’t in a rush to get anywhere, the radio does play the top hits from the late80s – mid 90s.
With my flight arriving the day before a 9am I wanted to find something fun to pass the time. After checking into the hotel I went on a fun walk to the nearby park for views of the beautiful flower gardens and seeing the opera house from a unique perspective.
A friend recommend to see Moulin Rouge while in town. I’m a sucker for the movie so I was more than up for this evening show. A quick nap then off to the newly completed metro train which takes you right from the waterfront to theater.
I was not disappointed with the show! Great mashups with different songs than were in the movie, more plot development too. Since I’m also all about historic theaters there was additional magic about seeing a show in a hall that was built in the 1890s and recently renovated. It was a spectacular, spectacular night.
Off to bed. Tomorrow time to board the ship.
