Whale watching in Sydney

We had wanted to do this while visiting the Gold Coast in QLD, however due to unfortunate weather we weren't able to so I jumped at a Travelzoo voucher that included a 3 hour whale watching tour and one drink from the bar for $39 each. This was a really good deal as most started at $50 for just the tour! The company was Sydney Whale Watching Adventure Cruises and we had a fantastic time! We discovered that even with a nice camera getting a good picture of the whales is difficult but luckily we managed a few OK ones.

My favorite part was as we were headed back we found a baby whale that was just showing off. Up until that point we hadn't seen the whales breaching more than a couple of times, but this little whale seemed to be playing and continuously breaching. I got a video of it but unfortunately it's too large to upload. I will have to try to make it smaller to post up for everyone to see.

Movie Night!



It doesn't matter where we are in the world - hubby and I really enjoy seeing movies! 
Australia is expensive in all aspects, so of course we had to find a way to see a movie without breaking the bank. We discovered eVent Cinemas had Student Mondays where movies are $8. We signed up for their Cinebuzz Club and just need to present a student ID. 
After 10 movies, we get one free which I'm sure will happen within the next couple of months.
