Sydney, last day


Our last full day in Sydney, and it was packed full as usual. It started with a full cruise of the most beautiful harbor in the world. We sat on the aft deck and enjoyed the sights, except the occasional diesel fumes, as we sailed around most of the harbor with a nice commentary. It was a nice relaxing day. The harbor is so picturesque that Mike took over 100 photos. After the cruise we ran through the Museum of Contemporary Art as it was closing in 15 minutes. We headed off to walk the Sydney Bridge and stopped for a little refreshment at the oldest pub in Sydney, the “Fortunes of War”. Then fortified we started across the bridge. We opted NOT to climb the bridge and just walk it. After building up a good appetite we went for a final dinner at a wonderful restaurant on the water, “Peter Doyles”. We had a wonderful appetizer of fresh sea food and shared a really big scotch fillet steak. We ended our day with some Irish Coffee and then made our way by train and taxi back to the camp ground. Tomorrow is WASH DAY. After getting cleaned up we will be on our way south to Melbourne with an overnight stop in Wagga Wagga.

Hi, Kids!

Well, my birthday is about over, and guess what! NO BLOKE has arrived on my doorstep. I am so very disappointed!

Looks like you're having blast but sounds like you need to slow down a bit. You're doing a lot of driving!

I loved the pictures of French surfing. That was you, right? Seriously -- great harbor pics!

Take care!

Hugs,
