Well this has been our last day at the Hyde Park hotel right in the heart of Sydney. It has been a great spot. It has taken this long for me to get my bearings. I can actually go shopping and find my way home. We have our favourite pub and eating spots. Tonight we once again had Japanese. For people who like to complain about the Asian invasion everywhere we go we sure do seem to like to dine with them. Funny thing though---our restaurant ran out of rice tonight ! It was only 5:00. Some customers walked out. Understandable, imagine a Japanese restaurant without rice. Kind of cut the menu in half.
So today we went down to Darling harbour once again. Much nicer in the sunshine. Today was about 26 degrees. It felt like a great summer day in Vancouver. We took a Harbour cruise today and then visited Paddy's Market. That was a bit of a disappointment. We expected a nice Irish market and what we got was a Chinese flea market. Spent the rest of the day just poking around. Back to our room by 7:30 for an early night. Hopefully we will get to Bondi beach tomorrow and then out to the airport for our last night. We don't fly out until 6:30 but we lose 2 hours and the flight is 3 and a half hours so we arrive in Christchurch at about 11:30. We are looking forward to exploring the south island.
I will post again when I have access and something to report. Ten-four rubber ducky.
goodeye mate...... Well, I just finished typing a comment and for some reason it didn't take, so I'll try again. Glad to hear that Sydney has gotten better and you are enjoying yourselves. Same with the weather. Nothing to report from here, and NO the rumor about your niece Linda wasn't true. Will explain when I talk to you next. Mom is doing good and we have been over to visit and had her for dinner and lunch so she is being kept busy. Our weather isn't too bad, no snow that stays so far. I know that Lorne is home now, but haven't had any recent updates. Will let you know if I hear anything. Keep us posted on the rest of your trip. These blogs are a great way to stay in touch. Have fun and enjoy your last while in Australia. See you in 3 weeks or so.
