This morning Bob, Martin, Daniel, Alecia (Daniel's girlfriend) & I took the train to Darling Harbor. We had a day at the Sydney Zoo, Aquarium & Fish Market. Ruth & Adrian had to work but they met us downtown later for supper.

We found Nemo at the Aquarium! :-)

Plus a shark,

some stingray & a whole bunch of other ocean residents.

At the zoo we saw a Tasmanian Devil. In 2012 we toured the island of Tasmania & first saw a Tasmanian Devil at a sanctuary there. Tasmania is the only place in the world where they live.

A cute, cuddly Koala!  We were told Koalas aren't as nice as they appear to be.

But they're still fun to look at & wonder how they can sleep so much in the various positions they choose.

Off to the busy & famous Sydney Fish Market for lunch.

Octopus anyone?

Ever get the feeling someone is staring at you? ;-)

I ate a 1/2 dozen raw oysters for lunch. My favorite!

These Jacaranda trees are in full bloom all over Sydney right now. So pretty! That's the Sydney Tower in the distance. Bob & I ate at the Tower restaurant 2 night's ago.

The restaurant rotated 360 degrees as you enjoyed your food. Here's a quick pic of the view.

Back to today though... After the aquarium we met Ruth & Adrian at the Queen Victoria Building. It's an old building & quite beautiful inside with high-end shops & chocolate. ;-)

The whole family topped off the night eating at a Spanish restaurant & celebrating Martin's birthday (November 4th)! Happy Birthday, Martin! Thank you for a fun day!
