So yesterday after updating, it was time to go to dinner, in Newtown, at a place called Hot or Not, it was Thai food. So there was not much I could eat, as I do not eat anything with peanuts, or peanut sauce, so I got a cold calamari salad, that was really good, and light. Next up, we all went to see a live comedy show by a act called The Chaser. I did not find it very funny – but then again I do not find most comedy funny – and so fell asleep. Upon waking, I found out I was not the only one who did not thing it was funny, though others thought it funnier than I.
We caught a cab home, though we had caught the train/subway there, as the trains had stopped running, and I fell asleep straight away. Only to wake up at 6 am. After trying to sleep for a while I managed to get mdaniel up and we went and had breakfast, and I had my first flat white. It was very tasty. Then on our way back to get my scarf and jacket we saw a Falun Gong parade.
After grabbing my stuff we started to walk down to Circular Quay to catch the ferry to Manly. It was about a 30 minute ride and I got to see the Opera House, which is amazing looking, but kind of surreal looking, as it looks like all the pictures. Once in Manly we walked down to the beachside and grabbed some lunch – oysters, and salt and pepper squid for me. Then we walked the along the promenade and up into the nature reserve area, and saw some huge scary spiders and a we heard a rustling in the bushes, and looked and looked and finally saw an Echidna , it was really hard to see. The walk back was pleasant and back at the pier I had a Whipped Chocolate Frappe at The Bald Chocolate Man, and got an ice cream headache. The ferry back seemed to go a lot quicker.
A quick glance into the Customs House to see the City model and then a bus ride home.
