Day trip to Sydney

Today, Akela took myself and Rufus into Sydney, as we had the day off. It meant we had to be ready to get on a bus at 7amin the morning. But we were determined to have a day off site. So, the early start was worth it.

We walked around the Opera House and admired the view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Once we had taken the photos, we then went to Woolworths – Akela was hanging for some Ice Coffee. Further, we had Kathy – a Hong Kong Leader for a short period who also wanted a supermarket. She then went to the Markets at the Rocks and also the Art Museum as well. After we parted ways, we were able to board a ferry for a trip to Manly, where we able to walk down the Courso, and found another leader on their day off – Helen from Qld. It was her birthday and we had lunch with her. It was just good to be able to have lunch, with a nice view of the beach and not be interrupted or have a time frame to be back for a activity. Definitely what we needed!

We soon (and reluctantly) dragged ourselves away from the comfortable seats, the view and the food, to wonder back down to the ferry for the return trip back. The day was certainly enjoyable and were glad to have been able to spend the day with pleasant company.
