A great day yesterday and started with the bus to Bondi beach, a walk along the bay and of course a swim in the sea. Beautiful pristine sand and clear water. We then took the bus northwards to Watsons Bay and the bus dropped us off at the start of a coastal walk which we explored for a short distance. Fantastic views of Sydney Harbour and on the other side, the Pacific Ocean. Disturbed a family of blue wrens and one of the annoyed parents came very close to us in an attempt to distract us from the young ones -lovely! A light lunch at Doyles in Watsons Bay - yes I promise you it was a light lunch but certainly not inexpensive. We were joined at Doyles by four young Aussie lads wearing Reindeer antlers and not a lot else who had obviously rowed from Sydney; I promise you we had only one glass of wine. Sydney is great but cheap it is not; I think it's probably the most expensive city we've been to.
Took the ferry back to the hotel and after a brief interlude trying to encourage our cricket team (total failure) we headed off walking south through the city via Hyde Park and several other areas ending up in Chinatown where we dined at the Emperors BBQ. Very good and very authentic.
Bused back to the hotel and after a brief visit to the bar on the 36th floor (fantastic views of the harbour as you would expect) we collapsed into bed exhausted!
