From Sydney

It is cool, overcast and a bit drizzly here in Sydney. So, our plans changed a bit. We walked over to Darling Harbour and explored all around there. Michael went on and toured the HMAS Vampire and the submarine HMAS Onslow. The kids and I went up the lighthouse. I just happened to come across a shop that sells Pandora bracelets. So of course I went in and bought a lovely silver and pink bead to add to my bracelet!!!!!! We checked out the Chinese Gardens - just lovely. We walked across the Pyrmont Bridge to the Aquarium for lunch. We didn't go in as the line up was RIDICULOUS. Apparently dugongs have recently been added to the display so everyone wanted to go and see them. We have seen the dugong at Seaworld, so we decided to give it a miss. After lunch we walked over to the Powerhouse Museum. An awesome place!!! How is this for a small world??? Walking around the Harbour we ran into a policeman acquittance we have known for years. He and his wife are down here for 2 days, from Western Qld.
