Lazy Day in Sydney

Boiling hot day and suffering from jetlag so not much done today.

Starting off with a visit to a garden centre where there was a strange array of sculptures including this one made out of plastic milk bottles!





A dragon lizrad



Then off to a mega expensive shopping centre - some lovely food displays



Finally some well earned rest and dinner at Caroline's house in the suburbs.


                                                                 The invalid "helping"!


Off to the Blue Mountains tomorrow for a more action packed day.

The Blue Mountains

A trip up the Blue Mountains today. A thunderstorm last night has thankfully brought down the temperature a little (I realise that, reading this in the UK, you’d probably think I am very ungrateful for hot temperatures but this is definitely too much for me!). When we first arrived we thought the mist was really thick and we thought we would see nothing as you can see from the pic. However, the mist lifted through the day and we finally got some views. This is called the three sisters. This is supposed to be the steepest funicular railway in the world. Difficult to capture exactly how steep but all those seats that look laid back at the station are bolt upright as you go down! No idea why a photo with a stuffed parrot was necessary!! But a nice afternoon in an interesting park - even a bit of exercise up some steep steps - thank goodness for those gym sessions. Watch the blog tomorrow for the views from the top of Sydney Bridge.

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge

This was the day I climbed the bridge - a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone. The bridge is 440ft high and 1650 feet across. We climbed to the top and across to the halfway point - over 3 hours including the time to get togged up.  Not a very fetching outfit I must say!  However, the views are definitely worth it. My climbing buddies. Finally at the very top! A tour of the Opera House to finish off the day.
