Fun in Sydney

Last weekend Trevor had to go to Sydney for a conference so Audrey and I decided we'd tag along and have a mini-holiday. We stayed in a great location - a one bedroom apartment about 5 minutes walk from Darling Harbour.

We had an early start on Saturday morning but Audrey proved herself to be a consumate jetsetter. She woke up in a lovely mood and was happy to amuse herself on the plane by playing with the lights, tray table and studying the emergency landing card. She grinned all the way in the taxi to the apartment. I think she sensed that she had landed in the 'big smoke' and that she was in a for a fun few days.

We managed to see the aquarium, zoo and the Wildlife Park while we were there. Audrey loved seeing the hoppies (kangaroos) again and fell in love with koalas too. Perhaps though the highlight for Audrey was the playground at Darling Harbour which had two slides - I think we spent quite a few hours there going up and down (with her precious doll 'baby' in tow).

Here are a few pics of the trip.
