Sydney "Vivid" 2017 - Part 1

Sydney puts on a festive display of lights for a few weeks in winter. We enjoyed five days to explore in the daytime and the nighttime. A few highlights...

Staying at the Ibis Hotel in Darling Harbour was a very convenient location:

 On the Pyrmont Bridge joining the harbour to the city. Hotel in background.
View from our room in the early morning sunshine...
...and at night when fireworks and other light displays were on show.
We made many trips on the ferry to Circular Quay ...
....and on another ferry to Manly for a walk and...

...lunch!! 
Innocently named a summer salad, we ordered one each. We ate one between us and took the other home for our dinner :-)

Sydney Harbour Bridge by day and night.

The constantly changing patterns on the Opera House were the most spectacular highlight:



The patterns on the Opera House were not static but constantly moving and merging.
