Family Trip - Day 2

The second day of my family's visit to Sydney was to be another busy day.

Firstly, after waking up, they wanted to go to Bondi Junction to do some window shopping. So we hopped on a train from Kings Cross Station and headed there. After a while there we had some brunch and then headed off to the next pit stop, Luna Park.


It was a beautiful day to be outside, and with the Pride flags flying above the Luna Park face, it was another smiling and proud welcome to the city for them!

As you can see however, a Friday day-time (no school holidays) means it's quite dead in the Park, but I guess that means no queues too!

Anna was dying to get onto the bumper cars with my brother, so that was the first ride they went for..


Next was the wild mouse, of which Anna, my brother Matt, and I went on.. You can get a picture of yourself on the ride at the end, and my bro got one.. I will have to get a digital copy and post it.. It was very funny! Below is my camera shots of us before the ride starts..

After an exhausting day walking about and having fun, we headed home for a sleep..

We woke them up a few hours later to get dressed for the theatre - in particular, Priscilla! They were very excited about the show, which excited me - I knew it would be the most amazing thing they have ever seen and was dying to see their reaction..

My family, boyfriend and I headed off to Star City for food at the buffet before the show. To our surprise the buffet was actually quite good, and for vegetarians such as myself, plenty to choose from!

None of my family visiting Sydney had ever seen a musical, and although they had seen the movie, were blown away completely by the experience. We were third row centre (I think I wrote in a previous post we were 2nd row..) and they were fantastic seats! They were only too close for one moment - the shoe on top of the bus/opera scene.. apart from that it was the best place to watch from EVER! My experience in selling the tickets is most people say it's too close.. I'm here to say, after watching it now 8 times, it has been the best position by far!

During the show, I got to be part of the audience interaction scene, and had an absolute ball! Thank you to Cleo Coupe (Trevor Ashley) who pulled me up there..!

After the show, the family went up to the Priscilla Bar for a few drinks, and to meet some of the cast. They had a great time, and even got in the spirit by jumping into position for the above picture!

I'm so glad that they loved the show and that, especially for my Dad, that the whole Drag Queen thing was not a put off - cos if it was, it would be an interesting night the next night when they were to watch me perform in drag for the first time ever!

After a hug with Trevor, who plays (among other characters) "Miss Understood" in the show, we headed home for some sleep before the biggest day of them all.. Mardi Gras Parade Day!
