The Chair

Gathered all my stuff to head to Manly beach.  On the way to the bathroom I noticed someone walking by outside with an umbrella and thought I’d best check the weather.  Turns out rain was called for, and the sky looked mighty gray, so I set those plans aside, and decided to head to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and search for Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair.

 Found the chair, with little effort.  Nice view along the water, and I’m only slightly ashamed to say I took a couple more pictures of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. 

From there I grabbed some food, and read – then headed to the Nautical Museum in Darling Harbour (ya, I’ve pretty much seen what there is to see in Sydney).  Museum actually wasn’t too bad – for some reason there was an iceman exhibit that was pretty interesting.  Not nautical related at all, but (… therefore?) interesting.

I checked out the casino after that, and it was a little less spectacular than the Melbourne casino.  Didn’t gamble at all, but had a quick walkthrough.  Ended up leaving through a bad exit, so I had to circumnavigate Sydney to get home.  Managed to do so just before Louvelle got home.

Louvelle and I grabbed some cheap Indian for dinner, then headed back home and napped.  At about midnight, we headed to the King’s Cross section of Sydney, which is essentially the red light district, and pretty wild, but after spending too long trying to find a couple of different bars, we ended up being tame and getting some olives and tea, while playing hangman on the paper tablecloths.

 Tomorrow, is my last day in Sydney AND Australia (insert sad face here), and my flight is a little earlier than expected, so I’ll probably chill out in Glebe, pack, and bid the city and country adieu.

No usb access on this computer, so no new photos for a bit.  Sorry.  Nothing too special, I assure you.
