G'Day Sports As the APEC meeting is in town shortly we had to make the most of today before they start shutting the city down for a week!! We collected our day tripper pass and we were off Train No 1. To Bondi Junction, then Bus No 1 down to Bondi Beach it was a great day for the beach not too hot and we sat for several hours watching the surfers and writing postcards.

G'Day Sheilas Could not believe it when we drew back the blinds this morning and it was raining, we thought that our luck had run out with the weather but true to form within 2 hours the sun was blazing down it was a balmy 22 degrees and we were walking around the market at the arts centre picking up last minute souvenirs. As luck would have it we also bumped into Superman at the market putting on a street performance for everyone down by the river. Richard got...
