Winos, Dinos and the Gap

On Saturday February 26th, Sarah and I went to the New South Wales wine festival which was held in Hyde Park. For a small fee Sarah and I were able to taste five different wines from the state and we were even able to keep our plastic commemorative wine glasses! At least they won't break on the plane ride home. Since it was a pretty scorching day, we decided to only try the chilled wines. We took note of a couple of our favorites. Here's me in front of the Warburn Estate tent. Our other favorite was the Moscato from the Savannah Estate. 

 

Having tasted the number of wines allowed within our budgets, we walked across the street to the Australian Museum.  There I was immediately greeted by a large T-Rex! Oh my!

There really isn't much to this museum. It consists mostly of a large collection of stuffed birds and other animals. If you are visiting Sydney for a short period of time, I would recommend keeping this at the very bottom of your to do list or just leaving it off completely. But since Sarah and I have nothing but time on our hands, we decided to give it a fair go. And we can have fun doing just about anything, as can be seen below. Here's Sarah terrorizing a penguin. I thought you loved penguins??

Here I am standing in the shadow of an average sized human. Hmm...

And here's Sarah again at a real live dinosaur dig! She really enjoys her work.

Here I am again being eaten by a T-Rex.

Some people like to call Sarah Muskie or DJ Muskie Musk, and look what we found! Sarah's very own rat-kangaroo. How special.

 

On Sunday we ventured off to Watson's Bay which is an eastern suburb. As you can see in the photo below, it offered an excellent view of downtown Sydney.

If you walk in the opposite direction, you will find the Gap, a beautiful ocean cliff. 

And here's a photo of the actual bay. It turns out we didn't make it to the part of the bay where people actually go swimming. We couldn't find it. But I am happy to say we have just today located it on a map and plan on returning to the bay soon.

And that was that. I would just like to make a note here that this blog post took me 3+ hours to create due to some technical difficulties and a fussy internet connection. I would really appreciate if everyone reread this about fifteen times so I feel like my time was well spent. Thanks! Hopefully more will be coming in a bit.
