Prince Harry in Sydney

This past weekend was the labour day holiday in Australia. There were lots of events in Sydney including the rugby league finals - "Australian super bowl" and the Navy Fleet Review. The Fleet Review was a huge gathering of navy war ships from Australia and beyond. The ships filled the harbour and were on display to the thousands of visitors.
The big news was that Prince Harry was in Sydney for the navy celebration. After a run around the Botanic Gardens, Jenn and I were walking back to our apartment and just as we were about to cross the street there was a motorcade of police motorcycles approaching with sirens blaring. A white limo car sped by and in the back seat, in plain view, was Prince Harry staring out the window. There was literally no one else around at the time. I was probably 20 feet from the passing car. It was pretty cool actually.
To cap off the weekend, on Saturday night there was amazing fireworks in the Sydney Harbour. There were fireworks being set of from many points including the bridge, downtown buildings, and from ships on the water. It was by far the best fireworks Jenn or I have ever seen. Check out the video to see for yourself.

This week we also ventured to Bondi Beach. It is perhaps the most famous Aussie beach being only 7km from the city.
