Sunday.<\/p>\n

We had a relatively easy day planned; a visit to the Australian Museum in the morning followed by meeting our friends Dean & Lisa in the afternoon and mooching around a bit.<\/p>\n

The Australian Museum was pretty good: the fossils and meteorites were interesting, and they have a hall of skeletons which mini-Elbeno enjoyed. They also have a great area for under-fives with various playthings, big puzzles, and a plastic ladybird which mini-E grabbed onto the first minute we were there and refused to let go of. We eventually managed to wrest it from his grip and left with him protesting.<\/p>\n

We wandered through Hyde Park and had a late lunch in the Art Gallery of NSW, before meeting Dean & Lisa on the steps. We spent a while trying to keep mini-Elbeno from whacking all the artwork off the walls in the Aboriginal art section, then we left and wandered down to Woolloomooloo bay and up and down the wharf there – an old wool wharf now converted into apartments, restaurants and hotels. Apparently Russell Crowe lives on the end.<\/p>\n

It was getting near sunset so we went down to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to take in the sunset. I took about a million photos of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in the sunset. Absolutely stunning views. <\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

After sunset, Dean and Lisa had to get back home, and we meandered back to Woolloomooloo Bay for dinner. We didn’t go to Harry’s Cafe de Wheels – apparently a famous spot for pies – but instead tried out Siena Marina. They didn’t serve curry pie, but even so the food was just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
