Get off train at Town Hall so could go to Woolworth's to look for baby milk but didn't have what we wanted. Looked in platypus shoes for trainers for Ben and eventually found some he liked some onitsuka tiger ones and wouldn't mind some myself. Then walk down to botanical gardens but stop pharmacy first to see if had baby milk but still not what we wanted. Walked round the Opera House then into the gardens for our picnic which ended up having at 2, Ellie liked the Pringles. Was amusing watching Ellie chase the dickd and followed 2 ducks which was so cute but unfortunately didn't have camera ready. Ellie then walked for abit which seemed to take a while but we did have good views of the Opera Housr and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Eventually Ellie went in the pushchair and fell asleep quickly so we walked up to Macquire Chair but didn't find the chair. Then walk round the gardens sone more past the pond into gift shop and Ellie woke up only had about an hours sleep.
