Australia – Day 05

Today we woke up to a foggy morning in Sydney with plans to visit the aquarium. On our way there we decided to have breakfast again at Gazzi. We tried the Mediterranean breakfast and poached eggs over bacon. Like last time service and food were amazing.

Once inside, the aquarium keeps you moving along a determined path where you will see a large variety of smaller creatures as well as larger ones. There are two long half cylinder sections that you will go underwater and experience sharks, rays and a variety of fish. Also, don’t miss the penguin section and experience them up close through the glass.

The cost was $36.80 AUD for adults and $26.40 AUD for children. We spent 2.5 hrs during our visit.

After working an appetite we walked back to Show Neua Thai Street Food and enjoy their Pad Thai one last time.

Since we have failed to visit the Opera House, we made it our goal to make it there today. We boarded the train and headed straight to Central Quay Station to walk to the building. As we got closer we noticed that the roof has a tile pattern and not a smooth surface as I thought.

Once inside there was not much to see, all hallways we blocked off for different events. Since we had time before going to Luna Park we decided to see if we could see a show. There were three seats available to see a Game of Thrones theater parody. We paid more than we wanted to spend, but we were already there and this was a different opportunity to experience. The show covered the highlights of the show and made fun of a lot of situations that happened through all eight seasons. The show was fantastic and I recommend you to see it if you have seen Game of Thrones.

After the show, we took a ferry to Luna Park (the correct ferry this time). Once we got there the place was packed. Looked like everyone else had the same idea.

The place is like going to Conney Island in New York, it has the old school rides and carnival games. There are a few more modern rides but are for riders taller than 130 cm. We had a good time but only had time to ride about five rides in the two hours we spent there due to the number of people visiting. We ended the night playing some carnival games and Matt won a Luna Park bobblehead.
