Today Leslie and I were going to explore Darling Harbour. It was one of the areas on our double-decker red bus tour that we really liked and it seemed that there were quite a few places that we could go. Rob and Jen were going to run some errands in town, so after dropping Jen off at her stop, Rob dropped Les and I off in Darling Harbour.
The first stop was the Sydney Aquarium. We spent what was about two hours there before we went to the nearby Maritime Museum. After the museum and opting out of an IMAX movie, it was $30, we went to the Chinese Gardens. We both decided to do the audio tour at the Chinese Gardens, but after Les somehow kept playing the conclusion of the tour (even though we were at the beginning of the tour) and realizing the guy on the recording talked way too much, we shut ‘em off.
Hunger was starting to set in after the Chinese Gardens, so we stopped at a nearby place called “Pump House” were we had tapas and shared a steak sandwich. The last stop of the day in the Harbour was the Powerhouse Museum. Rated one of the top 10 things to do in Sydney, it turned out to be a pretty cool place with a lot of interactive exhibits. We went through the museum at a fairly decent pace since we only had about an hour and a half to see what we could before they closed. One of the highlights was when we got split up and each decided it was best to stay put in case the other walked by. We were each waiting for each other on opposite ends of an exhibit for about 15 minutes. Ha!
After the museum, we took a ride on the monorail system that connects Darling Harbour and the downtown area. We took one loop all the way around before getting off at a stop where we knew we could catch a bus home. The rest of the day was a typical evening in Bronte, accompanied by “Bad Boys 2”. I love that movie!
Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha goin’ do, whatcha goin’ do when they come for you?
