Sydney day 8 - The Entrance adventure

Today we plan to head North - to The Entrance. The kids (and parents) are still tired from the road trip so we don't expect much travelling. But first we need to return back the car.
 
We were suppose to hire Avis car but William had another contact - The Macmillan car company. We've got a Toyota Corolla for $50/d plus $20/d for unlimited insurance claim. They did offer $5/d for $3000 access or $15/d for $500 access, which means anything below that value we have to pay. But for peace of mind, we took the full coverage.
 
Ok back to the car rental. At 11am we called the company.  'Unfortunately' no one was working that day due to Good Friday and coming Easter..so they let us use the car until Tuesday.  Wow! But Somehow we just stick to the plan, we will go to The Entrance on William/Ai Ling's car.
William has planned a lot of activities for The Entrance. He will bring the Kayak and the bicycles. For me, I can't wait to see the Pelican feeding.
 
At noon we arrived The Entrance. We had our picnic lunch before preparing the kayak. First William brought Joshua and Angeline to the sand dunes, then Syasya and Aril. The kids are now enjoying the sand of Entrance while their dads went of kayaking to.. I don't know where..


Picnic!


Poor baby.. she's cold

ALL on board!!
At 3.30pm people had already flooded the Pelican feeding area. I really hope that I can see closer but it looks like there is no chance. Too many tourist!!


C-mon birdss


The Pelican feeding

Come here birdie birdie
Luckily the feeding time was quite long. People start leaving their spots until finally close to the end I got the go ttje front. Its amazing really to see Pelicans from up close. They were HUGE!!
After kayaking, kids came back to shore to cycle. We also had fish and chips before heading back home. But as usual kids start feeding the seagulls.!!
 
We left Entrance at about 7pm. Arrived home safely and satisfied :)
