School Excursion...

I spent three days away last week down in Sydney on our school excursion. We had a very busy three days with forty students. On Wednesday we traveled to Sydney before spending six hours at the zoo. After the Zoo it was off to the hotel for something to eat before hitting the road again for a night at the IMAX Cinema.

On the Thursday we had a tour of the ABC Studios (... think BBC in England!) before enjoying a wonderful cultural cruise of the harbour. In the evening it was all aboard the James Craig an 18th Century tall ship for a night in hammocks! Being staff we were allocated bunks but these were in the immigrant (... I didn't see the funny side!) quarters which were basic and not unlike lying in a coffin I should imagine!

On the Friday morning there was time for more nautical fun before going ashore for a trip to the Monet exhibition and a walk around the Botanical Gardens.

It was a great experience and the kids were great, although it was even better to be home!
