Sydney 3

This morning we got the bus to the ferry at Sydney harbour and got a ferry to Manley at the other side of the bay. You really get a sense of the real beauty of Sydney went out in the bay where you can view all of it's various alcoves. There were people on skidding speedboats and millionaires on yachts everywhere. The fact that a guy had two limbs eaten off him by a shark while swimming in the bay recently put me off leaning over the boats edge to get the perfect snap!

Manley was real Summer Bay stuff with the beach and life guards and sun and flaming crows. A veggie burger, a chocolate ice cream and a choppy wave wobble and we were back walking the city.

The Contemporary Art Gallery was shut so we headed to Darlinghurst harbour where the simple class of the below Santa Claws persuaded us to depart with a ridiculous $30 to see the aquarium. Although as you may see from the video or photos, it was totally worth it. This was no Irish aquarium with the highlight being a really big lobster called Larry. There were tons of crazy sea creatures, fish and huge sharks swimming over your head. My favourite was the grumpy looking fish below that looked like something from the muppets and actually turned out to be the most venomous fish in the world. The people who believe in intelligent design should be bringing out this guy and saying look some greater being must be out there taking the piss.

We then went back to Rob and Lisa's for another great night of chat and beers and watching Niall squirm and squeal as big camacazi beetles flew into our faces all night. We also had the honour of meeting a pirate king and princess.
