Sydney was NOT what we expected (Budget Mistakes!)

Creator's Key Takeaways
We were setting out on a trip of a lifetime and size final pre-retirement.
It's a budget hotel most definitely, but with Sydney prices, this is still costing us $628 for three nights.
The juxtaposition of both the opera house and the bridge is quite something though and offers plenty of great photo and video opportunities to showcase this beating heart of Sydney.
It's been raining this afternoon. We didn't get round to the botanical garden that we wanted to do.
