Opera House & Botanical Garden

Next up, we walked to the opera house. It is HUGE. The seal that rests on the stairs was not there. Erik and I might try to go see Rent at the Opera if we have time. Just to say we've done it.

Then we walked to the Botanical Garden. This place is beautiful. I love that it's free to walk through. The governor has a residence / office on the grounds or right off the grounds (not sure which). They offer tours but not today or tomorrow because there are events on the grounds.

There were so many trees and flowers and even the prettiest bird and a magpie. Plus those birds with the funny beaks. We realized to walk to our sailing point would take 1.5 hours so we headed back another way to get to the ferry.

Currently we are at the ferry, waiting to board.Read more
