Yesterday was a bit of a blah day. It was rainy and dark almost all day so we decided to do some shopping. We went to George Street, Pitt Street, and Market Street. There were a lot of expensive stores that Mackenzie and I can definitely not afford, but there was also some cheaper stores. I got a really cute new outfit that I may wear to my first day back to work or on a night out with the girls. Mackenzie and I also got really really cute rugby polos for the Sydney Wallabies. That was the one purchase that I wanted to make and I was so excited that I found one. It was a bit expensive, but absolutely worth it. We also went to Paddy's Markets, which is a bit like China Town shopping in a giant warehouse. It is a great place to get cheap souvenirs and we made out pretty well for everyone back home. We went back home and made pasta and watched Big Mommas House before planning our day for today.
It was supposed to be a nice day today, but ended up being a bit overcast and rainy. We decided to go along with our plans anyway and go to Luna Park. Danelle may be the only person who appreciates this part of my blog, but for those of you who need more information to my references please go watch the Mary Kate and Ashley movie, Our Lips Are Sealed. I am pretty sure out of everything I have done so far, I was most excited about finally getting to Luna Park. I took my picture under the big clown and was so excited to get started and live in the moment of MK&A. We payed for the over-priced ticket just so that we could make sure we could ride whatever we wanted to ride. We did a bunch of the cheesy carnival type rides and did the fun house too. Of course we had to ride the ferris wheel, which was really cool because you had a great view of the Opera House and Bridge. My one disappointment, I am pretty sure that the roller coaster they rode in the movie does not really exist at Luna Park. I may have to go back and watch the movie again, but I did not see anything similar to what I remembered. Even with the rain and the little disappointment of the roller coaster, it was still a fun morning and worth going to. It made me one step closer to Mary Kate and Ashley.
Mackenzie got hungry and we didn't feel like paying $15 for a hotdog and drink so we went to Hungry Jacks at Circular Quay. Hungry Jacks is Australia's version of Burger King. I don't eat at Burger King very often, but Mackenzie said it just wasn't the same. We both really wanted milkshakes, but they didn't have any so we went to the McDonalds across the street. Of course they do not have milkshakes either, but they do have McFlurrys so we went with that option instead. Mackenzie was a bit disappointed in the size of the McFlurry though, it is definitely not an American size.
We caught the train back to Central and then the bus to Coles. We did a little bit of grocery shopping to get some food for dinner tonight. We decided to have a fiesta night, so we got stuff to make tacos and chips and salsa.
