Australia Vacation -- Day 13

Last night was a rough night for Katelee. She has had a strange digestive tract week -- pooping 5-6 times per day, sometimes some stuff only found in Alien movies! By last night, she was running a bit of a fever, tired, clingy, and grumpy! We put her in our bed for a bit, but she was just crying uncontrollably. So, we finally got her settled back down, put her back in her own bed, and she only woke up about once per hour. Needless to say, Katelee's parents were a bit tired in the morning! So, what do tired parents plan for their last day in Sydney?

How about another active outing? We got up and out the door around 10:00. We grabbed the Manly ferry and headed to Manly (of course). When we arrived, we found a restaurant on the seashore and enjoyed breakfast/lunch. After we ate, we headed to the bike rental place (a different one from Monday). We grabbed a couple bikes, and we hooked up a trailer to one. Who got the trailer today? Mark! After all the sympathy comments got from Courtney, Mark could not be outdone by his wife!

So, we headed out to a National Park where you can whale watch. Unfortunately, the guy who rented us the bikes did not tell us we would have to bike up a 90 degree vertical road to get to the Park! Once we got there though, it was a great view . . . and well worth it.

We did a bit of whale watching, but we didn't spot any. A guy up there said one had been spotted, but you had to have binoculars to see it. So, we just enjoyed the view of the ocean, waves, and the city. Afterward, we biked back down, passed by the seashore, and then returned our bikes. We grabbed some McDonald's (yes, they are even over here), and caught the ferry back home. The timing was great since we caught the sun setting on the harbor.

Tomorrow will be a true adventure as we wake up early, fly to Cairns, and then wait until midnight to catch our next flight back to Guam. We will get back in Guam around 4 in the morning. So, not much sleep will be had in the next 24 hours. Then, hopefully, we can recover from this wonderful vacation!!! Hope you enjoyed it! We did.
