Day 64 - Monday 2 December

Sydney, Australia - Day 2

Unfortunately, due to forecast windy conditions, our day with Blods & Brian on Sydney Harbour, on their catamaran was cancelled. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful day with them.



Blods drove down to Mosman Bay, where we caught the catamaran ferry to Circular Quay.



We then walked to Barangaroo / Darling Harbour for lunch.

Customs House


Anti-fracking Santas

Blods and Di went walking around the CBD's retail stores.








Meanwhile, Brian and Bill went to the fabulous National Maritime Museum - https://www.sea.museum/ .

If I could turn back time? 

We then walked back via Martin Place, where I bumped into my friend Ross Laidlaw (no photo).


We then caught the ferry from Circular Quay back to Mosman Bay.




We return to Blods' & Brian's home for a delicious dinner, prepared by Di.
