On Thursday 22nd I went down to Balmoral beach for a few hours before the clouds started coming and i went home before i got caught in the rain. On fri 23rd I went to Paddys Market to buy some souvenirs to take home. On Sat 24th I went to Kirribilli markets which was half like market half a jumble sale. I then went for a swim in the Olympic pool. AFter my swim i had my lunch i the park near it. There were lots of police around the park and a boat had just pulled up to the side with police boats all around it. THe Prime ministers house is just around the corner and the USA vice president was visiting him for lunch. Eventually a large convoy of police cars, police bikes and the blacked out cars with a US flag on the wing mirror. I didnt see either of them but they got into the boat and then went for a cruise around the harbour. Didnt stay much longer after all this had happened. just got home before the storms started.
Sun 25th. i went down to Darling Harbour to watch the Dragon Boat races which were on as part of the Chinese New YEar (which has been going on for ages!!). THe weather wasnt that good. i watched the races for an hour then they stopped for lunch. I had some chinese food from the food stalls that were there. It started raining more and didnt really want to sit in the rain and watch the rest of the races. So instead i went to the Maritime Museum which is also at Darling Harbour and free to go in. There was a small display about Captain Cook and the first fleets to arrive here. I was hoping this bit would be bigger. There was a large display about the Navy and then things about surfing and lifeguards etc. I also went and had a look around a Tall ship which has been refitted to go sailing on some weekends. It was a nice big boat and interesting too see.
