Church, Fish Market and Luna Park

February 24, 2013 - Sunday.   Grace and Marty had made Grace a little nightgown/dress and Marty made Grace's American girl doll a matching dress.  This was all done before going to Melbourne.  We had not seen the two together yet.  Sunday morning Grace came to our room and showed us the 2 of them -had to take a picture.

After church we headed for the Sydney Fish Market.  This fish market is second only in size to Tokyo's giant Tsukiji fish market.  They have it all!!

Having our fish for lunch - fish and chips, calamari, prawns, fried fish, scallops, etc.  Very  good - we loved it. 

Then a walk through the market - the prices are Kg. There are 2.2 kg/pound.  

These are called bugs - some kind of a lesser lobster.

Large octopus

John Dorey - we have eaten a lot of this - vey good.

Hanging out in the market.

Rainbow trout - for Paul

Scorpin fish

Octopus in various sizes

Note the price on this cheese - $159.90/kg

Outside of market

On our way to Luna Park - note background (another view we hadn't photoed yet)!!

Entrance to Luna Park - you get in free, but have to pay for each ride.

Raquel and kids ready to ride the ferris wheel.

Dale getting another shot of his favorite harbour.

Up in the air - they are in the ISU Cyclone basket!!

OLD carousel - 1900 from England.

There they go - up and down

Enjoying the clowns

Grace rode this alone - Lance was too young and the adults would have to had buy an expensive ticket.  Turned out to be her favorite ride - like the Himalaya ride in USA.

Roller coast - that is Raquel and Lance in no. 8.  Lance is listening to his mother scream in his ear - bring back any memories Scott?

Bumper cars

We were watching the kids in Coney Island. We didn't know what everyone was laughing at when they walked by.

Coming down from the slides.

One final ferris wheel ride.

Great Day

On the train ride home - we were all getting a little punchy!
