To summarize Sydney, I'd just say: don't head out too early - you really can't see anything. Our accommodation was actually not too far from anywhere, so we decided to walk all day. Walking through Hyde Park, you basically reach the Sydney Opera House. The weather was as shown in the photos. Because we were rushing to get to the zoo, we didn't wait for the fog to completely clear. But I think that many scenes you see in other people's photos, if you haven't been there yourself, they're just other people's photos. Like Jiu's classic quote this time: "If you've never been to Sydney, you wouldn't know the Opera House has mesh patterns on top 😂" - and that's actually quite true.
