Trip to Australia – March 3-21, 2001

Again, here are the two cutest boys in the world. As Snookums and I spent Friday night carousing with some of his old college friends, Saturday was a day of rest and reflection. Rest assured, my Irish friends, that our Guinness consumption the night before more than made up for this holiday of abstinence. :)

On Sunday Snookums and I ventured into town to the AMP Tower (formerly the Centre Point Tower), the tallest structure in Sydney. Here it is as seen from the bottom.

And here's the view from the top. Breathtaking.

Snookums uses the binoculars to get a closer view.

Yet another pictures of us in silhouette. This kind of thing is never a problem in London, because the sky is always gray and dreary. *sigh* I miss Sydney already.

This is looking out of Port Jackson (the real name for the harbor) towards the sea. The little white dots are all boats.

After visiting the observation deck, we went back downstairs to ride Skytours the Australian Adventure. What a load of crap. It was one of those 3-D rides, where you're looking up at a big screen and your chair sways and swoops and blows mist in your face. Quite frankly, it was a bit nauseating. Just an excuse to raise the admission price to the tower to $20.
