Last Day in Sydney

Today is our last day in Sydney. Tomorrow we leave for Brisbane and beyond. I'm kinda sad to be leaving Sydney, I feel like we need more time and there's more that we could do. But at the same time I'm very excited to be heading north, where we'll go camping and hopefully do things like snorkelling or diving.

We didn't do much today, we had some stuff to post (snail mail) home then we headed to Manly Beach. It's not as nice as Bondi beach, definitely not as clean, but I'm sure this wasn't helped by the fact that the weather has been quite cold and dull today. Apparently we had just missed a visit from a mother and baby whale.
When we got back from Manly we went to the Night Noodle Market in the Botanic Garden. It's part of Sydney's Good Food Month, where lots of Asian restaurants have stalls in an area in the Botanic gardens and you try the fare from whichever you wish. There are also stalls selling wine and beer. There was a great atmosphere and it was nice to sit out and have good food and wine to top off our visit to Sydney. Great!

On Sunday we visited Kiama for the day - it's a town south of Sydney with two naturally occuring Blowholes. We have some pictures. The weather was lovely and it is such a picturesque place. Besides the blowhole the other great thing was that we got to see lots of pelicans - up close. They wander around outside a fish and chip shop and don't seem to be too afraid of poeple.
