Fun in the Sun in Sydney

Ben took two whole days off to play with Kerry when she arrived (the first being yesterday). So today they headed downtown to check out Chinatown, the botanical gardens, and Darling Harbour.

Had some great food from a Chinese bakery in Chinatown. The botanical gardens were really pretty (especially when you were in the sun, rather than the shade!). And we knew that somewhere in there was a colony of Flying Foxes - large fruit-bats that can have a wingspan of more than 1 metre! But we weren't sure if we'd be able to find them. Well, we needn't worry - they were everywhere! Kinda cool.

We also got some spectacular views of the opera house and the bridge. We agreed that the opera house looks different up-close than we thought - you'll just have to come over and see it for yourself.
