Hi everyone, Sheila here; its lovely that you are all following our travels. It gives us great comfort hearing from you. We are in Sydney today, it's much cooler but dry. We caught a ferry to Manly beach, a lovely place and people were surfing the waves. On return to the City we had a look round China Town and Paddy's Market. I loved it but Bill wasn't too impressed. Then we had a good look around the City sights, including the opera House and Sydney Harbour bridge. It's hard to believe we are actually there instead of looking at photographs. Sydney is another great city. Next stop Brisbane. We are having a big sailaway party tonight on ship, which should be good. We have lost a few of our friends today, mostly Ausies returning home.Love Sheila.
