Gathered all my stuff to head to Manly beach.\u00c2\u00a0 On the way to the bathroom I noticed someone walking by outside with an umbrella and thought I’d best check the weather.\u00c2\u00a0 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Found the chair, with little effort.\u00c2\u00a0 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.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

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).\u00c2\u00a0 Museum actually wasn’t too bad – for some reason there was an iceman exhibit that was pretty interesting.\u00c2\u00a0 Not nautical related at all, but (… therefore?) interesting.<\/p>\n

I checked out the casino after that, and it was a little less spectacular than the Melbourne casino.\u00c2\u00a0 Didn’t gamble at all, but had a quick walkthrough.\u00c2\u00a0 Ended up leaving through a bad exit, so I had to circumnavigate Sydney to get home.\u00c2\u00a0 Managed to do so just before Louvelle got home.<\/p>\n

Louvelle and I grabbed some cheap Indian for dinner, then headed back home and napped.\u00c2\u00a0 At about midnight, we headed to the King’s Cross section of Sydney, which is essentially the red light district, and pretty wild,\u00c2\u00a0but 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.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Tomorrow, 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.<\/p>\n

No usb access on this computer, so no new photos for a bit.\u00c2\u00a0 Sorry.\u00c2\u00a0 Nothing too special, I assure you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
