We woke up at 4.30 am to drive off to Sydney. Kris had to take a conference call at 5.30am so we wanted to be away from traffic by then. After arriving to Sydney harbour we parked the car in a parking garage and walk to the ferrries. While we waited for the ferry we had a nice coffee at City cafe. The ferry took us over to Manly bay just next to the aquarium. There was a guy opening for us to show us around and getting us geared up. First we practised scuba diving in a pool next to the aquarium to make sure we were ok before we went to meet the sharks. There was a huge turtle inside tis tank too that lived there. He preferred living here instead of inside the aquarium. So cool! After all preparations was done we swam in a row out of the tank into the aquarium. It was an amazing feeling to walk around with all the fishes. After a short walk we entered the area where the sharks were. There was about 7 -8 sharks ( 3.5-4meter big). We had to stand still around the walk tunnel and wacth them coming up around us. They were everywhere and you could nearly feel them touching you. They had huge mouths with tons of teeths. We also saw some huge sting rays floating by us and touching us. They were the size of a queen bed. It was just incredible. We stayed for 40 min in the aquarium before it was time to head out to the other tank. it was a great experience and we were so happy we did it. We got to cuddle with the big turtle before we headed up and out of the water. The instructor removed all gears and we had a shower before we went to look at the photos and videos they had taken down in the aquarium.
It was now after 12 noon and we took the next ferry back to Sydney harbour to get our car. We had to hurry home to Cronulla since Kris was meeting up with Robert Nailon and then we were to meet the ANB federation for dinner.
Robert picked Kris up while I stayed in the house with Tiger to get ready for the dinner. Murray, Tiger and I picked Kris up on the way to Parametta where we were meeting for food. We met Ron, Rob and Ryan with his girlfriend at a Thai restaurant. It was lovely food and company and we finished the night with coffee in a coffe place on the way to the car. On the way home we passed by Kris's old gym Future Physique and he was amazed that they still used the same signs that he had made when he owned it. We drove back home and were so tired after a long day of adventure. Time for bed again! Tomorrow we are going to check in at the hotel in Coogee beach ! Yeah!
