The Coach picked us up at 7:15am. Lovely trip. On the way I saw Kangaroos. I think the whole coach heard how excited I was!Lindemans first, lovely. Off to a second, The Blue Tongue Brewery ... lovely, then to McGuigans. Had to be the best one of the day and what a fabulous day. McGuigans is still family owned and many of the wines are created in too small a quantity for export and they only sell them at the vineyard. They call it the cellar door. So we got to ...

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.

Ok having a day at the beach , Manly beach. Had a cuddle with a lifeguard! Well you would wouldn't you! We had a tour of Sydney opera house this morning, that was fab. We heard the Sydney Philharmonic Orchestra rehearsing and the sound was amazing. We are relaxing in a pub now enjoying a couple a beers. Meeting up with my cousin Marcel tonight. It's all good!
