2nd April - Sydney By Night

Marlies came around for afternoon tea with us before we go home. It was so nice to sit and chat to her without too many interuptions.

Monique took Bryce out with her for the afternoon to pick up the girls from school and then to the park while Michaela was having her tennis lesson. Tyler slept all afternoon after some more panadol. She still is not 100%, but the regular panadol is helping a lot.

Rick cooked rissoles and vegetables for dinner - to give Monique a night off.

After dinner we took the kids for a ferry ride into Circular Quay to see the lights of Sydney - the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Luna Park etc. It was a beautiful night on the water. We travelled from Meadowbank and back again.

The night was just beautiful with a very gentle cool breeze and the water was like glass. The ferry just seemed to skim over it without any other sounds. The sights of all the million dollar mansions on the harbour-side all lit up was like looking at a make-believe fairyland.

The kids really slept well after a few hours of sea air in their faces.
