Sydney, what can I say? It's the land where I had one of the most delicious (and expensive) steak in Asia. Wonderful and inspiring, Sydney is a city that greets you with positivity and an energy that will keep you wanting to see more. With that being said, this is one of the places that I'd want to come back to when I get the chance to return to Australia. There's a lot more areas in the country that I'd like to explore, but coming back to Sydney seems like a no-brainer too.

Our hotel was located near Hyde Park at the city center. The park is one of the oldest in Australia, and it houses the a war memorial and its centerpiece, the Archibald Fountain. From here, we were able to walk to St. Mary's Cathedral where we found shelter when the rain started falling.
