My homage to Easter including the coverted Lindt Easter Bunny and topped off with the best hot chocolate i have tasted, and i've tasted quite a few! Also tried their peanut butter easter egg, best $1 I spent that day. And let's not forget that it is a religous holiday, and people were out giving thanks for the reason why we have this holiday through sky writing.
Anyways, I trekked down to Darling Harbour as there was a free festival going on - the Hoopla Festival which showcased circus and street theatre for all to enjoy.
Most of the activities were quite interactive including an amusing pair of brothers that had a fire/ladder/pole act going on and got the crowd participating - they tended to pick on males to volunteer in their act, they actually picked a real fireman. The second shot, he said would be a good photo opportunity, he wasn't wrong. i love the expression, he's longingly looking for the audience to clap.
Walked along, and there was a 'Circus Playground' and inside were circus tricks like the stiltz, juggling balls, colourful ribbons, juggling plates on sticks and other fun stuff and lots of kids and adults giving it a go.
Last but not least we had 'The Tiny Top' where they had two fun characters welcoming everyone intot the tiny top. The lady by the popcorn machine was kind enough to make a face for me. :)
Anyways, hope everyone re-charges their batteries during this lovely break. Hope you all enjoy yourselves and spend well deserved time with friends and family.
