A Weekend in Sydney

---

Arrived in sydney on Saturday morning to pouring rain... Not quite what we had expected. Good job we had abandoned the idea of camping on cockatoo island in sydney habour.. Wolud have been a great experience but in the rain i might have got some complaints..

We are in a backpackers hostel right on Manly beach. Children think its a bit of a come down from the posh hotel in tokyo but we want to show them all aspects of travel...Its fine and we have been out and about so much it hardly matters that its basic. The rain stopped on saturday and we spent the afternoon on the beach. What a beach. I have not been to sydney before its amazing. Busy day today, church first which was great (thank you nigel for your recomendation) Sydney life church in mosman. then the zoo and then a meal at a beach resturant watching sun set over harbour. Children really want to fill in the details but all exhausted and asleep so more soon. love P

reminds me of the cabin/lodges we stayed in in New Zealand. Basic but adequate and you even can do your own cooking to save money. Good kids learn the difference between luxury and "normal" for later when they will be backpacking on their own. Love Daan
