What was suppose to be a grey, overcast day turned out to be bright and sunny….so change of plans and we headed out on the ferry to Manly. Eventhough its ‘winter’ and the locals are wearing coats and knitted hats there are people surfing in the ocean (in full wetsuits). We had fish and chips for lunch and didn’t share any with the screeching seagulls – who seem to have the same personality in any country. “Mine, mine, mine”…speaking of Finding Nemo, the boys looked up 42 Wallaby Way Sydney but its way on the other side of town. The kids bought some souvenir today, including warm sweatshirts – which they will need when we head into the mountains tomorrow.
Things we’ve notice about Australians so far:
They use some colloquial English words like rubbish, beautician and rumpus room in everyday language
They extremely dislike their Prime Minister at the moment, mostly due to the carbon tax she is imposing.
They like their tea
The standard coffee is espresso
They are pretty much like us but with a really cool accent.
