Sydney, Australia: A Great Place to Honeymoon

BLUEman: The Male Perspective

One thing to look forward to immediately following your wedding is that perfect honeymoon. There are plenty of places you could go, but one that may come to mind is Sydney, Australia.

Sydney is a great place to go. It all starts with a 13 to 14 hour flight over the Pacific Ocean. That is a long flight, but a great way to pass that amount of time in the plane is to take the night flight. That way, you can sleep as you fly over the ocean, and when you wake up, chances are you’ll be landing not too much later.

There a great beaches and great tourist attractions to make the most of your Sydney honeymoon.

Take for instance the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Did you know that you can do a hiking experience up to the top of the bridge? This hiking tour lasts a little over an hour, and rain, wind or shine, it will go on. But don’t worry as you will be secure to the bridge via a rope and chain.

If you want to take most of your time enjoying the beaches, check out Bondi Beach and Manly Beach, the two most popular in Sydney. If you head to Bondi Beach, be sure to stop at Nikos Restaurant Bar for great tasting fish and chips and a cold Blue Tongue Langer. Nikos is located right on the main road and you can have a nice outdoor patio seat overlooking the beach.

To get to Manly Beach, you’ll need to take a quick 30 minute ferry ride out of the Circular Quay district. Once to Manly Beach, you can exit the ferry and take a nice outdoor walk by many shops and restaurants before getting to the beach. If you like to surf, this is a great beach to do it at.

Want to get close up with a Koala? You can at the Taronga Zoo. This zoo is located a short ferry ride from Circular Quay as well and is a great place to see alot of different animals.

After a long day enjoying Sydney and its surroundings, how about a nice glass of wine? Gazebo Wine Garden in Elizabeth Bay is a great place to try different cheeses and enjoy wines you might not get anywhere else. I suggest you try the Chandon NV Rose Sparkling wine, a combination on pinot and chardonnay.

A great place to find lots of eats, and home to the Sydney Aquarium, one of the world’s largest, is Darling Harbour. You can try a great Rocket Sandwich for breakfast at Nick’s Café, or enjoy a nice appetizer of potato wedges with sweet chili dipping sauce at the Waterfront Grill. And of course, you’ll need a little dessert at the Lindt Chocolate Café.

So whatever you decide, pick up a travel book for Sydney and do your research, as this is one place to visit that might just make for an unforgettable honeymoon.
