Powerhouse Museum

Hey everyone!

We have safely arrived in Sydney, Australia. Our plane trip was as expected, long and uncomfortable. But we won't bore you with anymore details about that.

Today, being our first full day in Sydney, we decided to checkout the Powerhouse Museum. We had read about it in our travel book and when we realized it was just down the street from our Hotel, we figured that we had to see it. It is basically Sydney's Science Centre.

However, the greatest part was that the Museum was running an amazing Star Wars Exhibit.



























After the Star Wars exhibit we saw ads for what looked to be an awesome Zero Gravity* exhibit in the space section of the Museum. To finish our visit, we gave it a go. Alas, here is Nicole defying gravity*:





























* In an optical illusion kind of way.

  7. They actually had Vader. I was worried that the pics weren't turning out since they told us we couldn't use our flash, so I didn't take as many as I should have.

  8. Makes you think that ROM is a big waste of space when you could have a Star Wars museum.
