Comfort North Shore Lane Cove

Started the day by starting the pack up process - pulling down the caravan awning - getting some washing done and getting the boys to do a little school work. After Denzel had a good sleep we took off over to Manly to catch the ferry back to the city to get the obligatory photos of the Habour Bridge and On the steps of the Opera House. Ended up being a quick trip in and out as we had ...

... big $ and lots of time for maintenance. Unfortunately a lot of the photos didn't come out too well. Went to go to IMAX but what we wanted to see wasn't showing so ended up skipping it and let the kids have a play on the playground in the city instead. Caught the trains back and got home little earlier thankfully. All tired again. More sightseeing tomorrow.

... seeing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House was special. Of course there was the trip home catching the ferry and the 3 trains again. At least the 2nd time round we kinda knew where we were going this time. Back to the same place tomorrow.... not the zoo but the city. Will be expert public transport travellers by the end of our time here - well maybe not.

... this time as there was not so much weight to pull - but forgot about the cold factor. It was freezing and Jeremy didn't have a jumper and the boys were wearing shorts so didn't really stay for long. Took the photos and then went for a drive along the ridge. Was very pretty and amazing scenery... would of been nice to walk through it all a bit more - maybe next time. On the way down the mountain the boys decided they wanted to go back to church! That might surprise some but they had ...

Well, we spent the first two nights of our trip in Sydney - really not very outback! But we got to catch up with Jamie & Gill the first night (Wednesday) and Adam & Alison the second (Thursday). We stayed for two nights because Laurie was getting shelves put in the back of Adam's car. Just in case you don't know, Laurie & Josie (Matt’s parents) are ...

... fantastiske havnen... Kanskje det faktumet at det er en gate som heter ACDC Lane? Ikke vet jeg heller men jeg hadde noen flotte dager der. Jeg gjorde ikke så mye spesielt, gikk rundt omkring, i museer og parker men stemningen er veldig avslappet til tross for at det er en storby. Jeg tok meg en dagstur vestover fra Melbourne, mot Adelaide på det som heter Great Ocean Road. Bygget av soldater som returnerte fra første ...

... and quitting a job, and the extreme hospitality of some guys I met while in Hawaii, I can truly say I'm having a fabulous time! So when I first got here I stayed with my dad's friend Nigel and his wife Di. They are absolutely lovely people and live in a gorgeous place called Church Point in the Northern Beaches. I had a very nice time with them for my first about 10 days....then I was off to the Gold Coast. While I was in London the summer before last I ...

... Man i wish i could have seen my face! Had the most delicious bbq sauce bacon and egg roll for lunch and the first Icecream i have had seince i have been here! Planned to go out this evening with veeryone from the flat, then we got too engrossed in Casino royale and fell asleep and never got round to going out. Saturday, Mardi Gras! Going to Manly Beach today with people from the flat. We bought these Travel passes which means we can use all public transport as much as ...

... Mar 1, everyone slowly tapered off back to their various homes and families and Brad, Esther, Mary, Sarah and I drove east out to Brad's mom's beach house in Kiama. It was a gorgeous drive with more lookout stops and his mom lives in a really cute and small 2BR house on a cliff immediately on top of the beach. Save for the rainy weather, it is a beautiful location. I went for a walk down the beach and we had a ...

... and we are both blown away by the sheer size of the place. Its Kristinas last night in Australia so we just sit outside the cinema on the promenade and watch the beausiful lights twinkling over the harbour. The place is like a magic light show, I could have sat there all night soaking up the atmosphere. Kristina had a massive love for music so we chatted about bands and festivals all nights. Was a lovely way to end the evening with perfectly nice company.
