Andy and Marianne visited us on their way down to Andrew's graduation ceremony. They arrived on Sunday afternoon. After a quick snack we headed down to the
Botanic Gardens, walking through the
Building Museum on our way there.
There seemed to be many more orchids in the gardens than when we first went there. We meet up with Alana and had a drink at Clydes and then a tasty dinner cooked from the "400 Three & Four Ingredients Recipes" (a Christmas gift to Anne from Ack).
Monday we took a bus to the
Postal Museum and then over to the
Natural History Museum to see the gems and butterfly exhibits. This was a day of 'something new' - riding a city bus for Andy and Marianne and eating raw oysters for Ack and Anne. We also saw the gems at the Natural History Museum. When shined with UV light, the Hope diamond, will appear red. Scientists have found this is the case with blue diamonds, and may be used to 'finger print' the diamonds.

our trip was a little more exciting than a bus ride. But while we're on the subject....we sure did walk a lot to find a bus.We actually waited at a stop where the bus wasn't running on the weekends but didn't realize it for some time.
