Easter Reunion

Easter weekend is a four-day weekend in Australia, and we made the most of our time off.

This morning Michael drove on the left side of the road in a GoGet (carshare) car for the first time, which was a success. We picked up the cats from the quarantine facility they are settling in nicely for the most part. 

We went to the movies and discovered that there's a bubble tea place a few doors down from the movie theater where if you buy a drink you can get a discount movie ticket. With the exception of Saturdays when you can't use the ticket, it never makes sense to go see a movie and not get a bubble tea/smoothie because essentially the drink is free and the movie ticket is also a buck cheaper. Win! We ended up going twice, seeing Lego Movie and Grand Budapest Hotel.

Also this weekend we went on a scavenger hunt organized by some friends in the Potts Point/Kings Cross/Darlinghurst area. Here are Michael and I at Harry's Cafe de Wheels, a really good, well-known meat pie stand. They put fresh, steamy, hot mashed potatoes or mashed peas on top of your pie and it is delicious.

Royal National Park was another recent destination. We took the train and biked there and rented a canoe.

We only saw a small section of the park. Apparently there are some great hikes, beaches, camping that we might have to go back and check out.
