Today was Good Friday, a major public holiday. We decided to go for a big trip into the city, and grab something nice to eat at a French patisserie in there in The Rocks. We walked down to the nearest ferry wharf and got on a ferry for the city. We had Scully in her dog backpack, which we thought was adequate for the rule that dogs must be confined. But when we disembarked at Circular Quay we got rounded on by a staff member who told us the backpack wasn’t good enough and dogs needed to be inside a closed container.
Circular Quay was busy! There were tourists around! There was a huge queue for the ferry to Taronga Zoo – it must have been several hundred people. It snaked all the way around from Wharf 4 to the Museum of Contemporary Art. I guess all the tourists got up this morning and realised it was a public holidays and everything was closed except the zoo.
The Rocks was busy too, with all the food places open and people crowding in for lunch. We managed to get a table at the patisserie and had some lunch.
We decided to walk back home over the Harbour Bridge, instead of risking the ferry back and being denied entry.
It was a lovely autumn day. Sunny, with scattered cloud, not too hot, with a breeze, and nice for walking around.
We also got a good view from Lavender Bay while walking back home too.
For dinner tonight I made pizza, and I made some extra dough with which I made bread sticks, rolled in sesame seeds.
