Day 2 9th March 2009

We awoke to the sounds of light rain, and a cold wind blowing through the wide open windows that our humans insisted should remain open all night to let the room air. We were very glad owe are bears and have warm fur. An unusual sound penetrated our delicate ears, what on earth was that low rumbling noise – we later discovered it was all the traffic running endlessly along the roads.

We went down for a lovely continental breakfast had a nice lady commented about our sandals. They certainly catch the eye of every discerning passer bye.

Off to discover the trains that go under the city. It's amazing how harmless the city looks in the day light. No dark shadows for monsters to hide in and strange shapes to engulf us.

Bonnie and I had been dreaming and scheming for months about what we would do – but nothing happened that we had planned. We did have fun on the monorail very high in the sky, and on the underground trains roaring into the stations from the black holes of the tunnels. But no shoes, no bear shoes anywhere, Bonnie's new bag was hit with the humans as she could carry the train tickets easily for them.,and I must admit my tummy was playing up a bit – I found the lifts going up a bit hard to take.(too much chocolate is not good for bears with sensitive tummys ) Bonnie just thought I was scared of lifts and I needed to get some backbone.

No photos taken all day!!!, we were very upset to find some wonderful photo opportunities but on the other side of a locked door!! Such is a bears lot. We did get our Christmas shopping done – organized bears we are and its still 9 months till Christmas! Hopefully our humans will not forget to post them in time..

Back to the hostel, and a little time to do some updates on Facebook, a quick bite to eat and then off to the Pictures – our humans said as it was only rated PG we could go – how heavenly. Great big soft seat, dim lighting and Bonnie and I were fast asleep in no time, we have no idea of what the picture was about.... we awoke when the lights came on, and off to have another final ride on the monorail to see Sydney by night – it was very very pretty, especially around the harbour with all the lights twinkling into the water. Back to the hostel and a quick cuppa a promise from the humans that tomorrow will be OUR day for shopping Bonnie and I soon fell asleep dreaming of new shoes and maybe a bag or two....
