Day Five

We began our fifth day by heading to Manly beach. The beach was huge and there were a ton of people! We laid out for a while ( right next to some girls with their tops off!) and then took a little dip in the freezing water!
We walked around and looked at all the shops they had and got us some free Ben and Jerry's icecream. We spent most the day there, and then headed back on the ferry to our hotel.
We got ready for the evening and then headed to Darling Harbor. They were having their Christmas tree lighting on this night and so we were hoping to watch that. When we got there, we were both starving and just wanted to find somewhere to eat. Almost all the restuarants were full of people waiting to watch the tree lighting and so we weren't having much luck. We walked to the other side of the harbor and found this restuarant that had seating. It was right along the water and we had a view of the tree. We ordered this meal for two that had all kinds of seafood, our favorite! When it came out, it was on this huge layered platter with tons of seafood! As soon as our food came out the fireworks began right in front of us and they lit the tree. It was the perfect evening. We had amazing food, a beautiful view, and some alone time with each other!
After dinner we went to the Imax and watched a haunted house movie. It was 3-D and it was so neat to watch. The Imax has the worlds largest screen, which was 8 stories tall.

You can't really tell, but I am eating an octopus. The first one was all right, but the thought of what you were eating just started to gross us out!

Anytime they served prawns, they were served like this with eyeballs and all!




This was our tower of seafood!





Our camera did not like taking these pics, but they turned out really cool! These were the fireworks that we watched while we ate.






More crazy fireworks pictures!
