March 1, 2011

Here we are in Sydney.  The trip in was fine, Slept most of teh way.  The lineup through customs was LONG.  Made it through okay and then headed to the Center where we checked in. 

Walked around Randwick, the area we are staying.  ate something and tried to stay up for as long as possible to clear our jet lagged minds.

I napped for 3 hours, and then went for Thai food.  And then slept.

On sunday we got up refreshed and headed down to the Sydney Opera House, and The Rocks.  Touristy and familiar as we have done that before.  Discovered the New South Wales Wine Festival and got 10 tickets and tried many Merlots. 

Headed back to the Center, and again rested.  Met a very nice couple from Snowy Mountains, Mary and Sid. 

We relaxed again, went to bed fairly early and got up again early.

Monday we needed to book out tickets to Christchurch, and the Car.  All okay

After that we took teh train to Wentworth Falls and did a beautiful hike, then got a torrrential thunderstorm  An adventure.  Did the walk , headed back into town and took the train back to Sydney.  Grabbed a bite to eat and then cleaned up.

Tuesday morning, we are getting ready for tomorrow's departure to Christchurch,  tonight it is Tom's birthday, we will drop in this evening with some wine and a card.

That's about it for now

Am I miising the cold??? NO!  It will be 36C here today, HA! HA!

Love

Ernie and Jean
