A Day in the City

Overheard during breakfast on Friday morning:

Mama: We haven't been to the city for ages.
Dad: True. So, let's go.
Mama: Car or train?
Dad: Train. Don't fancy traffic jams and besides, parking rates are atrocious.
Mama: Where in the city?
Dad: We'll just buy a round ticket so we can hop on and off.
Mama: OK. The kids?
Dad: Not allowed on the train, unfortunately.
Mama: Too bad, kids. You stay at home today. Angelina, keep an eye on the boys.

So, where did they go?

First stop: Apple Retail Centre on George St. Opened doors in June 2008 and apparently the largest in Southern Hemisphere occupying three floors at the corner of George St and King St. Each floor is about 445 sq metre. My birthday is coming soon Mama.....*hints* can't tell you what they bought. Shhh.....it's a secret.
Next stop: Darrell Lea chocolate shop, just opposite the street from the Mac shop. Just look at their window display....yummm....
Then they checked out what's playing at the State Theatre. It's summer now so people wear shorts everywhere.
Magnificent lobby of the theatre. So ornate and decorative.
Interesting perspective of the Sydney Tower. One day, I'll climb it....with my claws.
Lunch was fresh seafood at The Galleries Victoria food court.
Opera House (photo taken from from inside the train).
Harbour Bridge and ferry terminal (photo taken from inside the train).
Central Station - the train usually stops here longer than at other stations. Patience.....
Mama and Dad came back in the late afternoon. Babysitting those boys was tedious. purrr....meow!
