Welcome back to the Casa de Ziegler II Blog! I know it’s been quite a while since we posted anything but we’re back now! We hope you enjoy our new adventure abroad in beautiful Australia and New Zealand. We spent the month of March there with our dear friends/family Joni Berg and Lane Hammond.
Sydney, Australia
Our Walking Tour of Downtown Sydney
This is the Garrison Church in Sydney, one of the many beautiful stone churches there.This bridge arch was pretty cool with the vines growing right out of the stone walls on either side!The message on the side of this rental bike cracked us up!This was a walkway along our walking tour.I saw this beautifully done drawing on our tour and, of course, I HAD to take a picture!Just a typical Post Box!Another church and great old world architecture,One of many wine shops.Open air dining abounds!This gigantic Cruise ship was in port!The skyline was impressive with the mixture of old world buildings and modern, very progressive design, architecture!The Contemporary Art Museum.And of course the very iconic Opera House! (More of this later on in this post!)The girls with the Opera House in the distance.One of the many (MANLY?!?) ferries available.An Australian White Ibis, a flightless bird.Cameras, cameras and more cameras! Even Australia has Big Brother watching!Some of the beautiful landscaping that was everywhere!A Silver Gull, common in Australia.LOTS of steps from the pier up to the street above!More beautiful flowers!We’re now in the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney. This was an unusual art exhibit.Lane and Joni enjoying the Gardens.A view of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge from the gardens.I zoomed in with my 300mm to catch the crazy people who choose to walk over the top of the bridge! They actually pay money for this honor!!This exotic bird blends in quite well don’t you think?This tourist lady asked Joni to take her picture and of course she obliged!Beautiful VERY old tree!This was a very “interesting” sculpture!Another very old tree!This wrought iron structure was pretty cool!This was constructed using smooth stones and cement.The Royal Government House (Estate, Mansion, ETC!!)Another view of the downtown architecture from the Gardens.Jan especially liked the “LEGO” building on the right!These trees are massive!Another impressive old government building near the gardens,
We've been full time RVers since 2015 and have been fortunate enough to have seen all 50 states (we flew to Hawaii and alaska) and stayed in each at least one week! It's been an awesome adventure but we've decided to park our fifth wheel in Yuma Arizona, mostly because its warm year round!
By staying put in one place we can now do other travel both in the USA and abroad.
