Spent five days in Sydney last week at a conference.  Made eye contact with the icons of Australia - walked until the back of my legs ached and still didn't see all I wanted to.  Caught all the aussie icons in the photo, Opera House, Bridge, Tower and the Manly Ferry and managed to keep the horizon straight....mostly
The food was great and the cost reasonable, (when will Perth restaurants stop charging horrendous amounts for food?) the service was fantastic - Blue Crab is wonderful as is eating waffles, vanilla icecream and hot fudge sauce late at night.  Every one I met who was asked directions were only too happy to help and to give extra directions to fabulous artisans and galleries, was great to meet such lovely people.

Next travel log will be in October, off to Melbourne for a few days and catch up with Princess Lavendah and an exploration (again) of wonderful food, locating fabrics (we are fabric junkies), craft markets and galleries.
