Rainy day but perfect night in Sydney for VIVID!

Most of the things I wanted to do and see in Sydney involved being outdoors. I didn't have many plans for being inside with rain. So this was an impromptu day. It worked out well.
We started with a double Decker tour bus you can hop on and off of while getting a tour of the town. We started on top but the rain came down hard so inside we went. Famous Coca-cola sign (the have political posts on it during busy times). I couldn't get much for pictures.
We hopped off at the Opera House to go inside and explore. It down poured on us then 





 We also made a stop at the Meritime Museum in Darling Harbor. They had a fun interactive Whale display there. The kids enjoyed all the "pirate" ship things also. They had a cool little kids area with books and coloring pages. Plus a theater that played Nat Geo videos...while you sat on bean bag chairs.


After a little nap we headed out to the Rocks/Circular Quay area for the famous VIVID show! It was amazing and i'm sure will be a highlight of this trip. They put up amazing lightshows on many of the famous buildings in town.





 They also have a ton of interactive light features. Like dance floors that move with you and "bubbles" that when you jump on them they changed colors. There were butterflies that moved with clapping sounds and light races when you pulled the cords. Kids were not happy when I made them come home from this!
