Opera House
The Sydney Opera House is apparently 30 years old this month (I saw an advert on the side of the bus). Really? I just assumed that it had been there forever and I have no idea what was on the site previously. There used to be a decent restaurant over looking the harbour (and it may still be there). I have only been to the restaurant three times (but not necessarily once every ten years) and every single time they have got the booking wrong. The last time was when I took my wife there for a wedding anniversary and I had confirmed the booking via phone, checking the day of the week and time and the date (just to be sure). Nevertheless when we arrived at the security booth to park, there was no record of our booking. After much heated discussion we were allowed in and it turned out that our booking was for a different time, day and date!
By the way, the most special thing about the Sydney Opera House (and this is not a joke) is that it is too small to actually hold a full opera!
