Day 2

Again, not too sure exactly how and when this is being posted, but Day 2 our first Saturday in Australia was a belter.

With residual jet lag still in our bodies, a 4am wake up led to a 7am breakfast in the cafe next door, stuffing our faces on French bread, lovely!

Then it was back to Darling harbour to hit the tourist information to book our trip to the blue mountains. Then it was a long old walk back to the opera house before a tour around the opera house, a fascinating I site into how it works now and how the design was decided and created. The sun came out in a big way during the tour.

This meant that we left on the ferry to Manly in bright blue skies with fantastic views of the harbour city. Manly was absolutely lovely, a bit of lunch, then a walk the full length of the beach followed by an ice cream, which Amanda obviously loved!

Back into town aboard the Manly ferry, a wee sleep and then dinner back in Carling Harbour, with a brief drink with Henry Kitchen and his wife.

A good day, now if we can just lose this sodding jet lag, life would be, to coin a Bert Le Close phrase, unbelievable!
