Today was filled with quite a large feat. We both drove! The cars here drive on the opposite side of the street, but if that weren’t hard enough, the driver ALSO sits on the wrong side of the car. So here we were in a car driving down the road, constantly wanting to turn onto the wrong side. Since I’m typing right now, you know that we’re ok and haven’t died in a horrible car crash.
I ALSO checked out the Police and Justice museum and got to see how forensics became a huge part of Sydney’s law enforcement. It was weird to see all these infamous criminals that I’d never heard about. I am sure that all the school children here learn about Ned Kelly, but for us Americans, it’s Jesse James all the way.I checked out the Rocks Discovery museum today and got to learn a little bit about the start of Sydney. I also go to check out the Cadman’s house which is the oldest building in all of Sydney. It used to be a place to hold convicts and was also a home to a married couple who were also convicts. The house was built in 1816. Really old!!!
Once I hooked back up with Aaron, we went to Luna Park which is an amusement park from the 1930’s. It has closed down multiple times, but they’ve reopened it in the same style as the 30’s. We went on this crazy old ride called the Crazy Mouse and man, did it freak the snot out of us?! We felt like we were going to jump the tracks every turn we encountered. The red cars we sat in were extra small too, so we definitely felt like we were too BIG to fit in it. Didn’t stop us from going on it a second time though. There was also an entire building titled “Coney Island” which looked like a fun house, but once we got inside, we saw that it was part of the 1930’s part of the park. It had indoor slides, as well as a fun ride called the “Turkey Trotter” and the “Barrel Roll”. One of the indoor slides was seriously a death drop. We did it because we could, but we were seriously freaking out on the climb up. Lastly, we had to take a photo with the famous clown mouth gate. It looked kind of scary, but also very iconic!
