Saturday 5th August

We had to take our suitcases to the storage place today rain or no rain! Luckily we chose to go in the morning when it wasn’t raining. About ten minutes after we dropped them off the heavens opened!

It started to brighten up later so we decided to go to Circular Quay to take another look at the Opera House and Bridge- yep the place still looks good a year on. It’s funny to think that we were here almost a year ago today!

Next we went to the rocks with is a great area with lots of old pubs and the market was on so that was fun to browse through. Momma and Deb will definitely like the market- lots of souvenirs to tempt you! Dadda can sit in a pub with Chrissy whilst the girls have a little shopping time!!

On the evening we went to an excellent bar called the side bar. It was full of back packer types mainly English and Irish! We were given tickets from our hostel to ‘buy one drink get one free’ so of course we took advantage of this. Five beers each and a jug of cocktail later we staggered back to our room! Off to Cairns tomorrow, things are going so well it makes the work part in Melly seems all the more worth it!

Bye for now
