Sydney Part 2

After our night in Coogee Beach, we spent our next two nights closer to the city in beautiful Elizabeth Bay with another friend of Morris rugby. We spent our next couple days in Sydney sightseeing in a typical tourist fashion. Jake and I took a 2 hour cruise around the world famous Sydney harbor, which had spectacular views of the Sydney Opera House, the coast line, various marinas, and some very extravagant coastal houses. We also had the chance to walk across the Sydney Harbor bridge, which was amazing as well. After that, we went and met David Knox at the prestigious Riverview High School to watch the New South Wales' All Star Team beat Western Australia's All Star Team at the high school level.

 Later that night, we checked out the rugby league match between the Sydney Roosters and the Manly Sea Eagles at Allianz Stadium. We were able to watch the match with Jeremy Atkins, who helped coach Delbarton in 2009, the first year of Delbarton rugby. This was an especially intriguing game to watch because we had the chance to see superstar Sonny Bill Williams play for the Roosters. The Roosters ended up winning the match 18-12.
