Captain Cooks Coffee Cruise. Lovely boat. After breakfast got the bus downtown to Circular Quay and got on the Cruise. Many Americans were also present. Dad would have done his nut. It was a lovely cruise, really informative and lovely to see the harbours from another angle. Weather fine and sunny. They had extra sun cream on board, factor 30 (the only factor you can get here) I did have to use the cream. So unlike me 15 is usually plenty! Had tea and cakes,...

Planning to get the boat to Watson's Bay, then go to Doyle's and then to Parsley Bay tomorrow. James wants to revisit some of the places he went with his mum. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the places I heard them talk about together. I think it's a bit bitter sweet for Jamie some of the time. Stll we are creating our own new happy memories together. It's all good.

Met up with Marcel. Good grief even after all this time I could have picked him out anywhere. Last time we met he was in his 20s I think. It was lovely to see him and we hugged a lot. Lovely. Anyway we went out to eat, Thai, and had a few toasts. Cab Sav Marce? Ok I may look a little wasted, but it was jet lag! Honest.

At the beach at Manley. Cuddled up to a lifeguard. Now having a beer. Happy days. The sun is shining and everything is alright with the world!

A little trip across the water to Manly Beach. It was so empty. The locals think it's cold. Look at it! It was also a week day, so no one could come out to play! Hoping for more weather like this. Fingers crossed.
