maritime museum

---

Pat and Kerry came on the bus with us today, as neither of them had golf! We were meeting Sue and her friend Teresa at the museum. Once again very hot and sunny, which turned to thunder later. Alex and I stayed on the harbour after the others, as we hadn't seen it all before. As we had to wait for rush hour to finish, we sat and had a beer in the evening sun, but I seem to have deleted the photo!

coffee first
and the friendly waiter took this picture of us all together in front of Endeavour.

outside the museum
these are anchors for mooring, one side is flat. Had to do something while we waited for Sue, so tried a bit of photography!

Otzi
Met this good looking gent inside - actually the mummified ice man found in Switzerland. He was on a travelling exhibition.

off to lunch
with my new friend!

scavenger
We're used to seagulls in Barmouth, but I was amazed by the cheek of this Ibis, right inside the cafe. Later we watched him trying to eat an ice cream cone, not so easy with a long beak!

fish and chips
for some, but I had Nachos, and therewas so much I didn't want any tea.

the Chinese garden
Sue and teresa showed me some of the things to see in darling Harbour.

aquarium
We saw all sorts, platypus, lots of fish, penguins and sea horses. The seals and sharks were in pools actually in the harbour, and there were plastic tunnels to walk through. Also you walked under the coral exhibit. We stayed 2 hours.

found
the beer picture after all.

thanks for looking after that dog, and for news of her. Hope she's settled in by now. Alex misses her a lot, especially as there are 2 dogs at Pat's house. I hear Sophie hopes to call at the weekend - have fun!
