After our enjoyable train ride on Sunday we decided on Wednesday to take the bus into the city.  I did suggest the train again but we just missed the train on Sunday coming back and Henry said he didn't want to miss another train!  I did tell him there was another train and we didn't wait that long.  So we caught the bus into the city and they are both pretty good sitting on the bus.   Henry was impressed by how many boys were getting on, the bus goes via Macquarie University so quite a few students getting on.  I must admit I like public transport as long as it is on time.  I feel part of the world seeing lots of different people and as long as you have a book or ipod the ride goes quickly.  Here is Henry and Freya waiting for the bus.

We went down to Darling Harbour today expecting to see the park opened, it isn't yet.  Wow that is taking a long time to build it has been over 12 months since we were last went down there.  We sat and ate our lunch first while watching a school group running around.  The boys were all chasing each other and I think that is what Henry is looking forward to the most when he goes to school.  We were also joined by some seagulls, fair enough it is near the water and people had food.  Freya on the other hand is a bit afraid of birds and pulls a face and won't move (see post below like the movies).  I told her it sounded like they were saying 'Hello Freya' in a seagull voice.  Freya then kept saying hello to the birds also in a seagull voice.

We then had a ride on the train that goes around the harbour.  Freya kept saying 'Hello birds, we are on the train', it was pretty cute.  Henry was pretending to be the train driver.

We finished off our trip to Darling Harbour with ice-creams before riding the bus back home.
