Our busy Sunday! (6/27/10)

Sunday we had a really busy day. After a long somewhat relaxing weekend, we got up and headed to Darling Harbour. First we stopped at the chinese garden of friendship which is basically a huge park with a bunch of pretty trees, sculptures, plants, waterfalls, etc. Then we had lunch at a place called "pancakes on the rocks" which had AMAZING pancakes, however because we aren't supposed to tip here the customer service was horrible. After that we went to wildlife world where we saw one of the largest crockodiles in the world, some ugly kangaroos, and of course the cutest koalas. Then we headed over to the aquarium which was AWESOME. I'm not sure if its because I've never been to an aquarium before or if it was just this one.. but I was amazed by the HUGE turtles and the sharks. Once we were done there we headed over to the big sydney tower where we went up to the top to look out at the city. I would compare it to the john hancock building in Chicago. It was awesome because we could see everything from our apartments that we are staying, to our internship sites, to the olympic stadium, to the opera house. Very cool. After that we headed to circular quay for our 5489589 attempt at the ice bar. We FINALLY were able to get in and it was awesome. Literally everything was made of ice . The walls,sculptures, the cups usually are however they were out of cups because they didn't get shipped in on time, so we got in for 20 dollars instead of 30, which was fine by me. Anyways, after that we came back and relaxed the rest of the night. It was a great day.
