We had to use up frequent flier points before they expired, so we went to Sydney for two days, staying overnight at Circular Quay. Lots of walking, viewing art and lovely food, especially when we arrived on the Tuesday and had lunch at Cafe Sydney on top of the old Customs House. That night went to a jazz concert at the Opera House, struggled back to our hotel and collapsed into bed after a delightful day.
Next morning a walk through the Botanic gardens, a visit to the Gallery of Contemporary Art and finally to the Rocks where we had lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Then onto the train out to the airport and home.
A mad thing to do but a lovely two days.
