Tour of the Sydney Opera House

I took a short tour of the Sydney Opera house today as I got the afternoon off :-) The Opera house was spectacular today with the crisp, blue skies in the background and it was fun to learn a bit about the history of the opera house. The inside is not as spectacular as the outside by the way. No if only Stavanger had the same visions when building the new concert house :-) The Sydney Opera house was designed by the Dane Jørn Utzon and was estimated to cost about 7 million Aussie dollars - in the end it cost more than 100 million! Talk about budget problems ;-)
