Australia & Ashes 2017 - 2018 - Day 51 - 12th January

Day 51


Today I took Cerys to the Manly Sea Life Museum and we had a great morning there, The sharks that we walked beneath were massive.  Cerys was impressed with the penguins and I saw an octopus for the first ime swimming around.  I had never seen one 'in the flesh' as it were, only on television (or a plate)









Afterwards we took a walk along Shark beach with its fenced off area for swimming. We began making plans to come back early one morning for a swim before it gets too hot.







We then stopped at the Bavarian Restaurant on Manly pier before heading back home as I was going out later. I was going to see the production of Green Day’s American Idiot in the concert hall at the Opera House..  

But not before Cerys had a go on the bouncy trampoline thing they had at the Terminal.









I got ready and headed back to Manly to catch the ferry to Circular Quay. From here I walked to the Opera House and had a pre perormance drink before entering the Concert Hall.

Sydney Opera House Concert Hall

Really amazing concert. It was so good I could have gone back to see it again.  When I got home I persuaded Amy and Alfie to go and they booked tickets for Sunday’s last performance.

Winner of two Tony Awards® and the Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album, American Idiot is the explosive new musical featuring the entire Green Day American Idiot rock anthem album. It’s the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9/11 Trumpian suburbia, discovering love, loss, sex, drugs, and rock and roll along the way.

The show features the music of Green Day with lyrics by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. This electrified rock musical has had Green Day fans in rapture and introduced a generation of theatregoers to their powerful and moving musical style. American Idiot features every song from the album of the same name as well as several songs from the follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
