A Nice Day to be in the Harbour! (Yes, harbour spelled the Aussie way)


Today was nice because Aaron spent the entire day with me. Yes sir, he walked everywhere with me! After we did our run through the Botanical Gardens, we went to breakfast at this restaurant called Pancake on the Rocks. It was one of those places that specializes in fat with a side of ice cream. We both got to have ice cream with our breakfast. I know my mom would be shaking her head in shame.

The hoarbour was all “abuzz” today because the 16 year old Aussie sailor that sailed across the ocean by herself was arriving today. I’ve been reading about her in the paper so it was pretty cool that we got to be here today.

There was a farmer’s market in the Rocks, so we bought lots of yummy souvenirs, specifically marshmallows, kangaroo jerky, and Aussie licorice. The licorice seller was having so much fun giving out free samples. I seriously felt like we got to sample every flavour!

And then, we got to do the amazing Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. (Picture of it later) They made us wear special jumpers and everything that we got to take up had to be clipped. Aaron wasn’t even allowed to wear his watch. The view was amazing, and looking down was pretty awesome. Since Jessica was sailing in, we got to see hundreds of boats. I would definitely recommend the climb to others too.

After the climb, we went to the Hotel Australia and got some kangaroo pizza as well as some saltie pizza(salt water crocodile). I preferred the roo, while Aaron liked the Saltie. Really, the roo tasted like cheap steak and the saltie tasted like tough chicken.
