Over the long weekend we have been very busy, too busy for blogs even!
We have basically spent all weekend in the city of Sydney
As we have done so much we shall save a little time writing so much up and do you all a quick summary.
Firstly our 1st year traveling anniversary was spent in the city of course finishing the rest of Vivid we didn't see and retaking the photos Myles wanted to see! We had fish and chips in darling harbour watching the vivid aquashow. This time being friday it was foti day! You should all know that Foti means fireworks by now! Oh yes the show had fireworks with it this time!
We watched the show and enjoyed the fireworks very much but it did take away from the water a little as you would expect!
We spent the rest of the evening enjoying the city & lights from land and sea! Another late night was had arriving home just past 12.
Saturday morning arrived and a note arrived under our door announcing 'adventure day.' Deb had another exciting day planned for us!
After breakfast we headed out down the back of the house past the garages and towards the national park. We had a beautiful walk to the furthest and biggest waterfall that we had not been to before. We took some photos and Myles tried to divert the course of nature as usual. Once we were back we picked up Debs mother and had lovely pies from our favourite pie shop in Bargo! Myles had cheese bacon and steak whilst Laura had curry. Both very very nice!
After this more secret adventures. We drove back into the city and after hitting traffic we arrived later than planned at 2:30. We went to the powerhouse Museum as it had an exhibition that deb thought we might like. A game exhibition :D
We had fantastic fun playing donkey kong, pacman and all good things like that. Including things like angry birds on 14inch screens!
A short time later we got kicked out and walked to China town. We had a good walk around and noseyed in the shops until a very well dressed asian woman told us "we had money back guarantee if we didn't like their meal no MSG money back come come" So we did as we were told and gave it a go. We didn't like their fish all crammed in the tanks and debated liberating them but at $199 per kilo for prawns we thought better!! We had a beautiful meal which was finished with cream puffs that we queued for 20 mins and were just pancake batter filled with hot custard. Yummy but not quite worth the wait. Obviously just something you have to do!
Sunday was a different sort of day, Myles requested underwater day, but that was a tall order in the winter! Our day was spent visiting Debs daughter mel having the worst meal we have ever had in Australia (ahem dont ever visit austi beach cafe in wollongong its awful!)
and then having a relaxing evening after 2 days of busyness!
Monday held the real underwater day as we awoke to pommie weather for the queens birthday bank holiday! We had a damp trip to Sydney again visiting manly beach for the first time! We had a unique visit as it was unlike most in the rain! We did a short part of the walk and headed back to the car. We carried on into the city where we parked up and headed to the ferrys. Still in the dark Deb bought some tickets and we boarded the ferrys. Laura clicked where we were going straight away. Bienalli!
Deb had wanted to go since it opened and today was the last day! Lucky us..
It looks really good on paper and you get to cockatoo island in the rain and get let down. We raced into the que for the 'Google train!'
sounds pretty cool huh? The idea is that its a train ride of what a google search is like. We jumped in and the lady at the front announced anyone in the que without tickets wont get on. LOTS of people then left as it just started raining again but we had an umbrella and waited it out. We knew that the train had only 2 rides left so drew straws to see who would go if we all couldnt. Laura drew the lonest and Myles the shortest. This didnt matter anyways because the lady shouted any singles to go on and Laura shouted yes and ran. This was the agreed plan and the person would then film the amazingness to come. I won't even put the video on because it was SO rubbish. It was a black tunnel with train noises and occasional flashing lights. THATS IT! Deb managed to get on the same train as me leaving myles alone to wait. OH I didnt mention it only goes one way to the other side of the Island. Yeah so we waited whilst Myles got wet and eventually on the last ride he arrived equally as disappointed. We went around most of the rest of the stuff poking fun at the whole thing and its rubbishneesss!! We mutually agreed how awful modern art is and that it is for people who cant do real art. Sorry but its just stupid!
With that I will end our weekend!
We also went to Ikea for meatballs and dinner and saw a mcclaren dealership!
So yeah thats us keeping busy as usual!
There have been blog updates in the gallery and videos department so make sure to check all that exciting stuff out!
Lots of love to you all x
