We had a busy morning on Monday, sightseeing in Sydney - we even went into the State Parliament ... and were allowed to take photos - I'll show you thosw once we're back home. Then Malcolm suggested going to Cafe Sydney, up on the roof of the old Customs Building. We stepped out of the lift ... to see lots of well dressed business men - while we were in our comfy sightseeing clothes (I was wearing my trainers!) However closer inspection showed other tourists as well. We were able to get a table out on the Terrace, with a wonderful view of the Bridge. Our waiter was extremely nice, and offered to take photos of us ... the first one also included the food ...
Oh no - I've had to abandon putting in photos, as this is a very slow Internet connection!!
After we had finished our main course and before the puddings arrived, the business men at the table across from us left, so our lovely waiter cleared their table, so that we could move over and have an even better view of the Bridge - and he took more photos! As the restaurant was much less busy by then, he chatted for a while and suggested places for us to visit.
On Tuesday. we headed up into the Blue Mountains - and I mean UP - we are at an altitude of a thousand metres!! The scenery here is absolutely spectacular - as soon as I get a fast connection, I have lots of photos to show you!
I have been spending some of my carefully saved up holiday money - I've bought lots of p&q magazines, patterns and a kit. I had trouble finding an Australian knitting magazine, but finally found one ... and issue one of a felting magazine. I've also been to several wool shops and have bought a super pattern book and some lovely Australian wool - and some gorgeous stuff for felting .... I'm going to be very busy when I get back home!!
We're heading back down into Sydney today, and I'm all excited, as tomorrow (Friday) we are taking the ferry over to Manly, to meet Lee, of Just Like Martha - if you haven't seen her blog, do have a look - she posts the most wonderful photos.
Hope to be back on Sunday with some spectacular Shadow Shots!
