Australia 2017 - Day 2 and Day 3

Day 2  - was a rainy old day in Sydney so just used it to catch up.  Took a short walk across the old railway bridge at Como and caught up with friends Meaghan and Margaret at the pub after dinner.

Day 3 - Train trip into town

We caught the train from Loftus to Milsons Point - changing trains at Town Hall on the way.
From Milsons point we walked down to Watt's playground at Lavendar Bay.








Fun for the little kids and the big kids


From there we made out way around to Wendy's secret garden.  A garden that is filled iwth little paths and lanes with all sorts of things to discover.  We had a ball running around in here for quite a while.








 playing peek-a-boo?


Lexie discovered a bunch of fairy houses






Morning Tea in the secret garden
We then walked around Lavender Bay to Luna Park.




Luna Part is a small amusement park just below the harbour bridge on the North Shore of Sydney Harbour.  We were planning on going on a few rides but unfortunately it was closed on a Wednesday - How silly is that?  So we had to content ourselves with taking silly photos with the huge face that is the entrance to the park.




From Luna Park we were able to take the Ferry back to circular Quay.  But rather than just go one stop on the ferry we caught the ferry going in the oposite direction and went right around to Darling Harbour and back to the Quay.

Coming into Circular Quay
 After Lunch at a food court behind the Paragon Hotel in Circular Quay we went over the customs house where they have a model of the entire city of Sydney under a glass floor.





Then walked around to the Opera House.








Checking out what it is made out of - ceramic tiles.

Then headed home on the train.



For dinner we took the kids out for their first trip to Sizzlers - what a blast from the past.
