Suzy & Paul visit again or (bring the rain again)


5th,6th & 7th February 2010

Suzy & Paul arrived Thursday night for another visit and another try to see the blue mountains. Well it rained again as soon as they arrived and stopped just after their plane left on Sunday. So no blue mountains but we did do the city on Saturday...and yes we did get very wet....walked through the Rocks markets, then walked over the bridge then down to the quay to catch the ferry to Manly, which let Suzy & Paul see the city from the water. Had fish & chips and of course a big ice cream in Manly then back to the city. We walked around the Opera House and it was great to look at it through visitors eyes instead of just taking it for granted. ....even in the rain....Then walked back to the car via George st looking at Queen Victoria Building , Town Hall and the shops. Home for a bbq and just a sit around and chat.
Sunday up early for a lovely breaky of hot coffee and pancakes, then off to the airport. Dropped Suzy & Paul in time to catch the plane to Melbourne..had a great time with them again, lots of fun and great traveling tips. We went to the travel expo just to get the 2010/11 travel books so we can do more planning for the trip. ....(of course it wasn`t raining anymore because Suzy & Paul had gone....)
