Week commencing Sunday 1st April 2001
Sunday 1st April
Sunday is Paddy's Market day...
They have a big selection of fruit and veg...
...as
well as the usual stalls.
This is where the locals come to buy - the prices are much more reasonable than
the city shops.
Monday 2nd April
Peter spent the day working on the
laptop.
Irene went walkabout in Sydney !
Tuesday 3rd April
We're off to the Revolving Restaurant
tonight... The
Centre-Point tower (in the distance with the worryingly thin base) has a viewing
platform and two restaurants at the top. We chose the self-service restaurant
for our first visit this trip.
This
is a (very much narrowed) view from our table.
The actual view is awesome - you would need a wide-angle lens to do it justice
!
Wednesday 4th April
Back to Darling Harbour...
We
couldn't resist a ride on this little train !
You can just about make out the monorail top left of the picture.
Thursday 5th April
Quiet (comparatively) day of rest, out and about in Sydney.
Friday 6th April
G'day
Sheila !
Waiting for the lift again 8-)
On
the way to the restaurant, we heard this deafening racket !
These guys were well into their Friday night boozing session 8-)
Doyles
IV - best food (and wine) in Sydney !
This
guy was playing a tune on beer bottles filled to different levels.
The notes were surprisingly accurate, considering !
Saturday 7th April
Since a good part of Sydney closes
on Saturday afternoons, we generally shoot off to Manly... View
of the beach...
...and
the cool (literally) fountain !
The
Jet Cat is a jet propelled catamaran - very smooth.
You don't get the feeling you are moving at all until you look to the side and
see the water whizzing by !
Time
for our regular 'Sundowner' on our balcony !
