Sydney

Wow - Sydney has been fantastic.

The apartment has stunning views.

We have climbed the bridge - even Mandy came along despite initial concerns - said it was incredible - views are outstanding and we chose excellent weather to make the climb.

Have caught up with lots of old friends (well older than they were). Anne and Katherine (George got on well with Katherine - footy, am dram - even tried to take her to the pokies (slot machines) until someone told them they were not old enough), Lisa, Rob, Tim and Jack, (Jack helped me cook my steak at the Oaks), David and Sally (enjoying life as a house husband), Phil Geraldine Alex and Edward - the lads ate the lion's share of a 1m pizza but us Dad's had to help out at the end. Just met Dougie, Gill and Claudia (plus bump - twins to be) for brunch - went to Billie's in McMahon's Point - fantastic to eat outside on a warm winters day.

Tonight we are off to Footy (AFL style) at the former Olympic Stadium - now known as the ANZ) - should be cultural.

Sunday - plan to walk Bronte to Bondi, bus to Watson Bay for fish & chips overlooking the harbour before walking to South Heads. In the evening we will be seeing Gordon and Meredith.
