We’ve been getting through the major touristy things first. There was the Sydney Explorer bus with an amble through the Botanical Gardens, followed by a trip to the Aquarium and Wildlife World. Both Abs and I regressed to the age of five and flapped about, perplexing the other visitors…of which there were many – school holidays and all. Sadly, Armageddon descended upon us and it rained like it was the end of the world. In the end we had to give in and buy some of those plastic poncho things which always makes me feel like a victim on Law & Order: SVU, and which only kept us partially dry. Made it home though, that’s the main thing.
Yesterday, we took a drive around the Sutherland Shire area and Cronulla beach. It was a beautiful day for it, which seemed to mock us somehow after the rain. Not that it lasted for long, but that’s beside the point. It was followed by dinner in the city with Roze and Em, before we settled in at the Three Wise Monkeys. The girls had to go home around 10, but Abs and I were determined to stick around. We had a great time watching the clientele try their best moves on (which more often than not left something to be desired), and encouraging the 90s covers band who seemed to have a guitarist that was way better than the others. We caught the last train home and then decided the best way to round off the night was to watch the Doctor Who Easter Special. My bed welcomed me sometime after 2.
Featherdale Wildlife Park was the activity for today. Koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, lizards and ugly birds, were all there to amuse us. We arrived at a good time to hang around for feeding, and it was actually really awesome. The flying foxes kept stealing each others food while the dingoes were clearly very fond of their keepers. Adorable. Abbi got her requisite tourist picture with a koala, so another thing can be ticked off our list.
Tomorrow, the sightseeing continues with the Bondi Explorer and, hopefully, cupcakes! No rest for the wicked, ya know
I recommend reading Abbi’s version of events over hurrr, she’s got the bases covered.
