Merry xmas everyone, hope Santa managed to visit you all.
A very lazy start to the day and then off out to explore and get our bearings. We are staying at the Oaks Goldsbrough apartments (a massive converted wool shed) on Darling Bay. We visit Darling Harbour and are surprised at the number of people out and about and the number of coffee shops, restaurants and cruises that are open for business. Christmas lunch out is obviously a big event with locals and tourists alike.
The botanical gardens are our next stop. Everywhere groups of people are picnicking; sadly the weather does not match their enthusiasm and it starts to rain. We walk around Sydney harbour, opera house, circular quay, ferry terminal and finally the shopping precinct which is quiet and ready for the boxing day sales madness which apparently starts at 5.30am.
After dinner back at the apartment we venture out into the rain to a bar on the harbour, for beer and cocktails and put together a list of all the things we want to see and do – will we have enough time?
Merry xmas hugs,
Janet & Jeff
