Rain in Sydney

It's not supposed to be rainy in Sydney!

This morning, Thanh had to go to the consulate building downtown to get her Visa renewed. She had an early morning appointment, so I headed downtown to meet her around 10 when it was over. It was a bit cloudy, but seemed to be getting sunnier, so we decided to try the Jetcruiser which is a speed boat tour of Sydney harbor.

After a slow tour with some opportunities to take pictures, the Jetcruiser got down to the serious business of speeding around Sydney harbor as fast as possible. Unfortunately, this coincided with the start of some very strong rain.
Fast, exposed boat + strong rain + flimsy plastic raincoat = not much fun

To be fair, it was nice to see a different view of the harbor. We'd taken the regular ferry ride a few times before. The speed boat part though would have been much better on a bright sunny day than it was yesterday.

We're also fond of the shot below. It combines my (perfectly reasonable) obsession with orange and Thanhs (potentially dangerous) obsession with information kiosks.
