Sorry for the lack of updates, no internet in Byron (more on that in the next entry). The following blog I wrote on Tuesday 9th at the Airport:
Yesterday Fiona and I went into Sydney under beautiful blue sky. Isla very kindly dropped us off at Manly where we got on a Ferry to Circular Quay which is the big ferry terminal in the heart of Sydney. It was pretty spectacular, we literally turned a corner and say the harbour bridge and opera house. We took so many pictures the battery on our camera ran out!
When we arrived we took a slow stroll round the opera house and through the botanic gardens. The gardens were really well kept and we were both surprised at the wildlife and the amount of runners taking advantage of it. It was very strange seeing all these exotic animals, parrots, cockatoo's, dodo looking birds and even a gigantic eel.
We got to the picturesque marquis point which had both the opera house and the bridge with the green backdrop of the gardens and the ocean and stood for 5 minutes savouring the weather and the view.
We grabbed lunch in the rocks (area between the quay and the bridge) in the adequately named “pancakes on the rock” before then taking another Ferry to Darling Harbour and walking along George St (Sydney's Broadway). It was like being in New York with all the tall buildings giving you vertigo!
As I type this we are currently waiting for our plane to arrive so that we can head North to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay where hopefully more sun awaits.
