Last Weekend in Sydney

Here we are back for a last weekend.

We walked down to Anzac Parade, chaotic at the moment with roadworks to enable the new light railway which has caused huge swathes of road to be dug up …

… and waited for the bus beside Peters of Kensington, an ancient and well known department store, painted a vivid pink and stocking almost anything you could think of in its crammed and higgledy-piggledy interior.

We visited  La Perouse and watched people having a good time, even when it is overcast!

We also headed in the city to ride some ferries and soak up the views of the harbour.

Later, Joanna finished early so we went to Maroubra Beach for a swim and a cool down before dressing up and heading to Redfern where we chose a great Indian restaurant called Maya Da Dhaba.

Sydney weather was not playing ball on our last day, not that it has been cold as most days have been over 30, certainly in the middle of the day, except today, so we had a family outing to see Paddington 2 – never mind that Joanna is 26 – and a final home cooked meal on our last evening.

It has been a fabulous trip and it has been especially lovely staying with Joanna in her apartment. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and tomorrow we have an early flight … but not straight back to England quite yet!

Thank you Joanna for such a great time xx

 

Not sure if mum will proof read again before posting but I have really loved having them here. It has been the best Christmas and start to the new year that I could of ever of asked for and I am going to miss them a lot. Definitely won’t leave it this long again before a visit happens
