We finally spent a weekend in Sydney - long overdue if you ask me! We flew down Thursday night and stayed with our friends Isla and Mark in Millons Point, right next to the Harbour Bridge. Glorious views! They just moved into a totally decadent minimalist apartment with harbour views. Unfortunately, it rained like crazy most of the weekend!
But we enjoyed ourselves anyway, driving to the Northern beaches in the rain, admiring brave surfers who braced the elements while we were sitting nice and cosy in beachside cafes and bars. On Friday night we saw Craig's niece and her two daughters Hannah and Grace in a modern dance performance which was amazing! The girls are just teens, but they danced beautifully. Very cool. We were impressed!
Nice to finally catch up with this branch of the Millis family, I like them a lot! It is beyond me how you can have 4 kids and still maintain a dignified and relaxed household. A true inspiration!
On Sunday the weather cleared up and I was able to take some nice photos as you can see. It was brilliant to get out of town and have a change of scenery. I really really like Sydney! But.. Brisbane is not so bad either :)
Craig's mate David is staying with us at the moment. He has survived his great Australian adventure and cirumnavigated the continent in his van in 6 months. I cannot wait to see his photos! It is great to have company and especially company that knows how to cook really well! We had a classic British Sunday roast waiting for us on our return from Sydney! How great is that?
