Note the palm tree and the OperaHouseHi Everyone,
Have been having lots of trouble with the Internet. And we have been busy with tours. Wednesday was the city tour, a harbour cruise, great food and views of the very expensive houses on the harbour. One was offered $90 million and refused to sell! Saw a house Elton John rented and as married in! Some are modern , some are old. One house was really fascinating, built on top of a cave. Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world!
It was then off to a zoo and the Aquarium. Will try to attach pictures later. Learned lots about kangaroos. In wet season a mother can have two in her pouch and be pregnant. But she can put a pregnancy on hold for up to 2 years. Caelin, you would have loved the fish. There are so many different kinds, colors. One was very lacy - black lace!
Yesterday was supposed to rain, but we did luck out and stopped at zoo first. We got to pet the Wallabies and Koalas. The kangaroos are furry and the koalas are hair. They feel like a thick wool rug. And they sleep 90% of

Sydney bridge! We're not walking it. $245. the time. We stopped for freshly baked scones with cream and jam. Very English and yummy. Arrived at the Blue Mountains and the mist had cleared. We were able to see The Three Sisters.
Off to see South Pacific at rather Opera House. Tomorrow, we leave for Ayers Rock and probably won't be doing much with the Internet until we get to Cairns. Have the Gret Barrier reef Tour on Thursday, so Friday before the Internet again.
Must try the pictures now! Remember this is still an experiment!
Cole, we will have to try the Facetime then.
