Dear Diary – It’s Stinky - Sydney's a pretty cool place...

17 November 2016

Today we decided to go to Manly –first we had to get a bus down to a place called Circular Quay. 



There was this HUGE boat tied up at the wharf - actually they call it a ship - people go on holiday on it. It was MASSIVE!








On the side were these big life boats...


When they drop them down, they can go beneath the water and pop back up again - even if they go upside down they will pop back up the right way...how cool is that!



There is also a huge playground on the top deck for kids to play on..


It even has a water slide!!!! It would be soooo amazing to go 
on one of these ships one day!






Do you recognise this photo....?


Yep, it's the Sydney harbour bridge - it is HUMUNGOUS! We could see if for ages when we were sailing away...






People are allowed to walk on the top part of it....




Not sure I'd want to...would be pretty scary - especially if you were afraid of heights! 





There is also a cool amusement park under the bridge...




It's called Lunar Park - looks lie a really fun place to go to. Our ferry didn't stop there...





It took us about half an hour to get to Manly. We decided to check out an Aquarium that is there....




There were lots of fish - all shapes and sizes...






Mrs Pam thought this dude was kinda cute.... 


Think he liked breathing out of water...








There were lots of sea horses....





Thought I would see what I would look like if I was one - not sure the fur would look that great if I stayed in the water very long....








There was also a crocodile...            


He was so little...still had lots of teeth though! I called him Snappy.






And there were lots of sharks....




lots and lots of sharks.....eeekkk!







On the top floor of the aquarium was a place where they fed penguins. 


They were so cute - they sure can eat a lot - they said they eat about one and half times their body weight - now that's a lot of fish!!!  




Before we got back on the ferry we decided to take a look at Manly beach...
                                                                                                                     There were so many people there and signs up for where they could swim. The sand was really grainy and got in my fur. I didn't really like it. 



On the way home we went past this place....




You've probably heard of it - it's 
called the Sydney Opera House.







Was pretty tired when we got back - it has been an awesome day!

  2. Hi Chloe, Mrs Pam here. Stinky and I really enjoyed Sydney. I really liked the penguins. They are so busy and so cute. My favourite part about being there was being able to see our daughter, Alice, perform at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. It's another amazing place - it looks like a castle!
