The Separate Saturday Entry

On this day, André and I met up and went to Acland Street.

Acland Street is a 3 Smiles Per Hour Zone.

Yes, I know. I, too, wondered what on earth that meant. Only 3 smiles an hour? Not really that much when you think about it. So I consulted Google to find out what it meant.

The Government's Explanation.
A news article.

It's actually rather hilarious, I think. Seriously, I want to be a Smile Spy!

So yes. We went to Acland Street, hopefully helped the smile ratings, and got some gelati! Yum yum. Then we decided to walk to the beach. On the way we stopped at Luna Park. We didn't actually go on any rides, as that would cost money, but I took enough pictures to make it look like maybe we'd spent some time there.

Various rides.

Next to Luna Park is the Palais Theatre. I think that this is where my mom saw my dad play for first time, which is why I photographed it. But if I'm wrong then this is just a nice building.

Then we turned and walked toward the water.

Bye, Palais Theatre!

Look, we're almost there! See that pier? That's where we're headed!

But first we have to cross a bridge.

We made it!

Onto the pier.

Then we walked down the pier and went to the cafe at the end. Not sure why I didn't take pictures here. They would have been good ones! Oh well. We got a nice bowl of hot chips. Yum! Then we walked back and passed Captain Cook!

Hello, Captain Cook!

Then we went home. The end.
