Maritime Museum

We ventured into Sydney to the National Maritime Museum, to see the Viking Exhibition in particular.  We looked around the Navy destroyer...
Tried to get a decent photo of the kids and I, but Nathan did not help...

 Went in the Submarine, but I only got as far as the first section where the torpedoes were...
 Then I got completely claustrophobic and had to rush out. I was shaky and panicky and felt like I was going to cry! I don't know how the crew members live on a submarine.  The others went through the whole sub while I waited.
 The girls had their faces painted beautifully...

  Then on to see The Endeavor, a replica of Captain Cook's boat.  This was my favourite. Such a beautifully crafted timber vessel.
 
Onto the Viking ship next...
 
 Finally, the James Craig...

Not to mention all the indoor exhibits, including the Vikings exhibit. A great day out.
