FRIDAY IS, APPARENTLY, FISH DAY

We spent most of today walking, walking, and then, some more walking.  Our first goal was to find the Aquarium.  I remember going a number of years ago, but the aquarium here has improved vastly.  What a great place.  Here's a few photos.


There were a number of fabulous lego structures in the aquarium, here was our favorite

These were actually constructed in the Checzck republic - all were amazing.
From the aquarium we wandered over to the Fish Market.  We should have just used our sense of smell, but the wandering was fun too.  Here's some photos there.


On the way to and from our main attractions, we wandered past some other nifty things.  The ironwork along the road to the fish market on local houses was wonderful.
Once we got back home and rested a bit, we wandered back out to the Botanical Gardens, met up with some odd birds - really - then went back to the hotel for a rest.  Along the "rocks" the pathway near our hotel along the bay, we saw the Moon Park exhibition.  It has the creepiest "moon" ever - verging on clown scary!


After our strolling about, we went to a restaurant recommended by the concierge - The fish at the Rocks -.  The Rocks is the part of Sydney located under/near the arched bridge across from the opera house. It's a wonderful walking area and VERY close to where we're staying.  After our couple of days marching around, we really feel like we know Sydney.  It's a little like San Francisco down under.  Urbane, clean, fun, open, We obviously like it a lot.
Until tomorrow and Cairns......
