Christmas Holidays - Last Day

Today is the last days of my holidays... Tomorrow I am back to work, so today we decided to go into the city and spend the day. We went to Circular Quay first up looking for a Harbour Cruise, but before that happened, we got caught up in some street theatre and buskers. Here, Kate & Brooke burst enormous bubbles made by "The Bubble Man"...


Then it was onto a Captain Cook Harbour Highlights Cruise. For $55 for the family, it was great value and took about an hour and a quarter. We cruised from the Quay, around the Opera House, to the Eastern Suburbs forshore, across the middle of the harbour to Mosman, past the zoo and Kirribilli House and then under the Harbour Bridge to Darling Harbour (where you can get off) and the back to the Quay.

The only complaint was that the weather was a bit grey, but there was no rain all day.


After some lunch in the city, we took the Monorail to Darling Harbour where again it was all street perfomances (I think we sat and watched 4-5 over the day) and sight seeing. We went to the National Maritime Museum (which was packed) but it was a "bit boring" for the girls. We spent a good hour or so letting the kids run around Tumberlong Park.


And of course the obligatory ride on the Darling Harbour Carousel. All in all a good and tiring day out. Lots of walking, but we pretty much experienced a fair portion of the city. Just need to rest up and get ready for the train in tomorrow. :(
