Of course, it's hot and tiring to walk all day so we stop for a scone break.

They wanted to walk around.

2009.03.22 14:32
They did try to cooperate to get their photo taken.

2009.03.22 14:40
That's better. Graham really loved perching at the window to look down the 820 feet. Don't think he's afraid of heights.

Another view of Sydney.

2009.03.22 14:42
Our little dolls.
