Home again!!

Thanks for all the well wishes on our trip!!
Massive thanks go to my parents for cleaning the house, doing the wash, loading the fridge, prepping two meals for us, AND picking us up at the airport at almost midnight!!! After a month of living like gypsies it was wonderful to see them at the gate.
The return trip was, for the most part, uneventful...not counting the sheer 23hrs of travel.
Jet lag is raging right now and we will probably live like vampires for the next few days...determined to get everyone in bed tonight by 2AM and see where we go.
More to come as we decompress!!

Last day blues...

Wrapping up our last day of the trip. At this point we're all a little tired and almost ready to go home -- except for the daunting return trip!
All the Christmas decorations are up-- which is hard to grasp since it's so warm...but we did gawk at the windows at David Jones and were tempted to go visit Santa but decided to wait until we get home.
Yesterday we went to the power museum and then played down in Darling Harbour most of the day. There are heaps of pubs and restaurants w specials on food and drink at happy hour -- and at this point in the trip funds are running out!! But you can sit, have a drink, eat dinner, watch the kids play, all for 20-40$! Highly recommend for anyone coming here on a budget.


Today was due to rain so we went to the amazing indoor pool just off the park.

And tonight we're back for more!!
The play ground is definitely one of Sydney's best!! Plus there's free WiFi!


We don't leave until 3 tomorrow so maybe we will do more in our last minutes!!

Darling harbour playground

Having a bit of a play before dinner...easily the best playground in the city

Sanctuary

Kids and I had a great time at the sanctuary this morning - koalas, a Tasmanian devil, feeding the kangaroos and watching the eels get fed.
Just hanging out at Hungry Jacks for a bit longer before feasting!!
