RAINY DAY IN SYDNEY

OK so today started off with rain and it looks like its finishing with rain.Down to breakfast early (that was a bonus didn`t` realise that we had that) and it was ok.So off we went with our umbrellas and soon found ourselves in the salvation army charity shop looking for a kagool for me.No luck with that but Betty

came away with a nice skirt and a pair of black trousers.I managed to find a lonely planet guide of Australia and a good map and things to do in Queensland, which we will need after Friday when we pick up the camper van.While we were in the charity shop Zena rang and we have arranged to see her Wednesday evening and looking forward to that.Then it was a walk through Hyde park and a visit to the parliament building of new south wales,that was interesting.After that we had a walk into the botanical gardens where we heard such a noise coming from the trees,we thought it was birds but no hanging from the branches were hundreds of flying foxes(and they are not small).But the gardens are lovely and we will go back there on a finer day.We walked then down to the opera house and viewed the bridge(didn`t post any pictures of these we need a nice day) had a sandwich and drink at circular quay and then returned home .So now we are in the Sydney library where we have a great internet connection and when we have finished this post we are going to eat and celebrate our anniversary. bon appetite Betty and Brian xx
