Feb. 23rd - Down Under

Uncle Kamran gave us a tour of the city. We left Manly port with a ferry (top right) and visited Sydney's Opera House first. There were two luxury cruise liners docked. We saw Queen Elizabeth departing from the port. Its loud horn caught us by surprise. We also noticed a group of people walking on the top of the bridge (top left).
We then walked to the Sydney Tower and had lunch at the food court near by. The tower had a similar setting as the Sears Tower and uncle described buildings close by the tower along with their history. We also saw placed he lived, worked and studied. Matthew liked giant Lego sculptures at different locations and took pictures with them (lower left). We also visited Wildlife World and the Aquarium near by, where we saw some Australia's most poisonous snakes and spiders. Some of the most exciting sites were walking under neat of pools of water and seeing many sea animals including manatees, shark, and later a mechanic shark.
We ended the day with a ride back with the ferry and saw the sun go down by behind the Opera House. Uncle and Aunt bought us some nice pizza, that was stuffed inside Turkish bread. It was equally interesting and delicious.
