Last Day in Australia






Today was our last full day. We head back to the States tomorrow.

We took the ferry to Manly Beach (a favourite spot for surfers) and went shell hunting. We had lunch and headed back to the Circular Quay to see if we had time to go to Toronga Zoo--we didn't. So we went shopping and bought Paula a couple of small opals--her birthstone.

At the beach we found, what we *think* were jellyfish, but they didn't look quite right--no tenticles. If anybody knows what they are, let me know. We avoided touching them anyway.

There were a ton of surfers out in the water--which was chilly but not cold. They were all wearing wet suits. Probably a smart thing.

On the way back on the ferry, there were a mess of folks sailboating in the harbour.

Our time has raced by. Its been a great place to spend time and we've seen some AMAZING things.

The little jelly fish is bluebottle jellyfish, A.K.A Portuguese man-of-war.
