After a good nights sleep I went back to the harbour to do some sight seeing properly. Got on the bus with my cheap rate ticket and was down at the harbour in no time. Listened to an aboriginal man playing his digereedoo. He seemed to be naked except for some white body paint and a strategically placed yellow cloth. I could have posed for a photo with him but there were too many in the crowd to risk entrusting my camera to one. I am getting very trusting though with my camera - the form is - I ask them if they would like me to take a photo of them (the japanese are usually a good bet) and then I ask them to take one of me.
Walked along the circular quay and stopped for lunch at Rossini's - a nice Italian restaurant with views of the Bridge. Had chicken crepes and vegetables which was lovely and far too much for me and then I wandered to the Opera House. It is an amazing structure and the views of the harbour and the bridge are much better close up. I was going to book to have High tea which comes with an opera singer but at 140 dollars (70 pounds) I thought it was a bit OTT.
After the Opera house I strolled through the Botanic gardens next door. As I stood at a small bridge (built in 1819) a big 'bird' flew over and when I looked up I saw that it that it was a fruit bat and the trees were full of them and I mean loads and loads of them in all the surrounding trees. So when you look at the latest photos and wonder what you're looking at - now you know it's bats hanging from the branches.
Suddenly my day was gone and again I had walked my socks off. Time to catch the bus back and have a nice cuppa, put my feet up and watch a bit of TV.
By the way - it's sooooooo goooooood to have a decent cup of tea/coffee with real milk - can get my calcium levels back up.
Love Sue xxxxxxxxxxx

So Sue,welcome back to the mod cons of the real world as you knew it...including the expense! It must be strange and was wondering if you have had to adjust. Almost last leg of your journey....gone so quick but I bet Ruby is relieved that you are on 'home turf'-almost!
Have a great time and keep on blogging!
Love Trish xxx
Susan-Q, you've become quite the world traveler! I'm glad you've not forgotten the pleasures of a simple cup of coffee :) Wonderful pictures - nice looking pair of feet, btw...
By now nothing is OTT for you!
Miss you!! Love, Kev xxx
I don't know whether or not you got my text, so I'll repeat it here. Ask the Oz Isaacs whether or not William played rugby for Newport. They had a William Isaacs who played for them in 1899, love and take care Dave
love the happy feet photo :)
sounds like Sydney is a blast :)
