And then the rain came

---

Well we got to the beach at Manly, which was a last minute switch from Bondi, as the roads to the Bridge were blocked by an accident. The beach is a cracker, all fine sand (yes Bob it does) and the weather was very warm, but the sea was(bloody) cold. It's surprising how all beach cafe's look the same the world over, only the food changes.

Friday night we went out to dinner at the Retired Services Club (the grandest British Legion club I've ever seen) big bars, big dining room, big dinners but small prices. An excellent night but then the thunderstorm!!
Thunder and lightening all night with not a little rain.

Saturday dawned a little overcast so we had a shopping experience at the local City Centre where, as you can see, it rained again. The afternoon saw us driving through Richmond towards the Blue Mountains where we had a little wander in the bush. After this exercise we returned to base for an excellent 'barbie'. A few drinks and some good conversation later we turned in only to be woken in the middle of the night by a terrific thunderstom!!

Ken you can tell the Taverners that we have broken the draught in Sydney. Sunday morning and it's still grey but they say Monday will be sunny.

You let the Sheila use you new camera. I hope she didn't get sand in it before you found out what that other thumbwheel's for.
