After my ferris wheel ride we decided to walk to Darling Harbour - I really liked this fancy fountain at Darling Harbour. Although in this photo it doesn't look much like a fountain!




Another old ship in Darling Harbour is the James Craig, its an old trade ship that spend many years submerged in the waters surrounding Hobart (the owners couldn't sell it and it just wasn't worth anything at the time so they got permission to sink it). Eventually it was "found" and restored. Its a pretty amazing old boat to look around. In its "glory" days it used to take produce from New Zealand and Australia to Europe and America.


After some afternoon tea (yah mini cupcake) we headed back into the city.




I don't think I've mentioned that we were lucky enough to be in Sydney during the Vivid Festival - which involves a whole lot of pretty lights and great shows. The show we got to see was Bat for Lashes as she was performing at the Sydney Opera House!

what a wonderful trip so far! i love that old ship with the mermaid on the front, so cool! when i was in 4th grade our class spent the night on an old ship like that, we each were in a group and were assigned different ship responsibilities. i was in the rigging group so we were responsible for all the rope and tying it. it was really cool! can't wait to hear more!

Sadie - Yes! Vivid was so amazing! I wish I had a better camera to take some better photos of the lights.
Helga! The Building is so beautiful! We didn't end up spending any time in the foodcourt in Chinatown:( Maybe next time. I love the Chinatown in Melbourne when I went a few years ago. Do check out Bat for Lashes - shes a little bit Bjork, a little PJ Harvey and a little Ladyhawke:)
Cb -That sounds like an AMAZING school trip! I love the mermaid too:)
