The weather in Sydney has been pretty nasty the last week, near constant rain. The kids were going stir crazy so Jake decided last night lets go for a trip to Newcastle to see the Pasha Bulker, a coal tanker which was beached in wild weather last week and stop in to visit his sister.

There has been a lot of media coverage on the ship, it isn’t ever day you see a dirty great big ship perched on a beach. I’d like to know how the hell he got there, someone was taking a nap when they shouldn’t have! It will be interesting to see if and how they can move it, hopefully without too much impact on the environment.

Even though we had seen lots of pictures in the media, the shear size and how close it is to the beach was amazing. And the people, OMG, I think half of NSW was there LOL.

It rained the whole 2hr trip there, but thankfully the sun came out for the time we were there.

Of course, the children had to do the touristy thing (there were people holding their dogs up to take their pictures in front of it…don’t think the meezers would have been keen LOL) Hayden thought it was great, the girls were less than impressed…no pleasing them LOL
