Shops ahoy!
Jo keeping watch for a spending opportunity!We took another trip into the city today but were met with yet more travel issues – this time a delayed train due to a woman giving birth on the train in front of us… only in The Shire!! We went back to the Westfield Centre to sort out our Mobile phones which are now fully up and running – so you can expect texts coming your way with our new numbers.
We decided to take a look around the Aquarium today… dugongs (Australian manatee), angel shark, grey nurse shark, leopard shark, black tipped reef shark, starfish, crayfish, Nemo, a few more lego creatures… we saw them all!! And Jo even got the special honour of seeing a sea cucumber drop a poo!
We had lunch in Cockle Bay, overlooking Darling Harbour, accompanied by a seagull who was happy to perform tricks for some scraps of our sandwiches. Next we walked around the Harbour to the maritime museum and then up to the Chinese Friendship Gardens, before meeting Will’s friend for a schooner in a nearby pub.
It was then time to head home, before Will got the taste for beer (he was driving at the other end)
Great White Shark
Don't go swimming! so we headed back to the train station, but we stopped on the way to pick up a Kit Kat Cookie Bar which Jo had spotted when leaving the station in the morning – it was quickly devoured on the train ride home but the peanut butter Kit Kat still wins hand down!
