I spent the day walking around downtown Sydney. My friend and I drove to a park and ride, took the train into town, and had breakfast at a little cafe on the wharf. Well, not just he and I, we had some visitors who liked our sugar packets…

After breakfast, I walked along the waterfront, around the opera house.

We met up for lunch (swordfish and octopus!) then I wandered around downtown amongst the skyscrapers, through Hyde Park, and over to Chinatown, until I found a little slice of home…

Then back to the wharf where I took a ferry on a little loop hoping for another good vantage point to see the opera house and downtown (but realizing too late that the good spots were owned by people and private).

Then back to home, a little dinner, a little chat, and now I’m thoroughly exhausted. I’m on my own again tomorrow as it’s the day before the wedding and they have many things to do with which they assure me I can’t help.
