Dear Readers, it is getting a little painful to blog as our departure date draws nigh. We're going through every emotion in the book.
Clearly needing some "us" time, PK and I decided to take a night away in the city. Grandma Joan agreed to stay with the kids at Whalie so off we went. After an exhausting workout with Major Tom (our friend the trainer at Circuitry in North Av), we met our friend Maya at Icebergs on Bondi Beach for a scrumptious lunch sitting sort of inside/outside on one of this winter's loveliest days. Yes, Americans, this is "winter" in Sydney: 75 degrees (faren), crystal clear skies, and turquoise water. As we ate (we had earned it, after all), of course the humpback whales swam by with their greetings.
Sleepy from the wine and workout, we checked into the Shangri-La where we were upgraded to a corner suite with harbour views. Lordy. We met PK's cousin Ann Marie and her husband Ben for drinks at the Blue Bar overlooking the Opera House and then headed over to Woolloomooloo (yes, really) for dinner at China Doll with our friends Alex and Andrew Bird (see Australia Day blog entry).
The morning was even lovelier than the day before, so we just watched the sailboats cruising all around the harbour from our hotel room. Bliss.
Photos to come...
