Thursday 28th - Saturday 30th ... Yet more new experiences.
No standing still for us! We awoke at 10.00 - another hot and sunny day, how lucky have we been to have had very minimal rain and what has been the "heavy" stuff has come overnight. Summer clothes all the way, so far.
Jon & Caz went out to return goods and we toddled off to "Breadworks", a new bakery with coffee shop attached. We caught the train to Central from Nth Sydney to meet up with Jon & Caz and their friends to have a bite to eat in a pub before moving off to Sydney Cricket Ground to watch Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. An experience which is another first for us. I had pink dye put in my hair and had pink painted on my cheeks - well you have to have an "immersive experience"! I shall say that it is an interactive affair with a Snog Cam & Wiggle Cam, Mexican Waves are frequent as is bashing a beach ball around. Good Fun. The game came right down to the last ball and Sydney sadly lost. We returned home by bus and train leaving the others to walk.
Friday came and another couple of new experiences.
Jonathan & Caroline were off work from Christmas until January 3rd, some days they would walk out to "get their steps in" whilst we did our own thing and met up at some point during the day.
The day was very hot , 30+ degrees, we lunched at Billis before meeting up to catch the ferry to Circular Quay. (Ferry McFerryface was to transport us). We then caught a train to Town Hall and went to Din Tai Fung in World Square for a meal before heading off to see the film; Three Billboards in Ebbing Missouri at the Moonlight outdoor cinema, in Centennial Park.
On the Saturday we did some washing before catching the 12.30 ferry to Balmain. The day was very hot, 36 degrees, and a bus took us to the town. We wandered around town, which has a rich heritage but the Victorian buildings on Darling St. are home to shops and "upmarket" shops and artisan products as well as heritage pubs. We stayed on a while longer and caught the ferry to Milsons Point to meet up for a meal at Garfish, Kirribilli. Afterwards walked back to Blues Point.
Tents had just started to be pitched at the Point in readiness for NYE.
