Woke up around 7am and read in bed for a while listening to the birds carry on outside. We had a very slow start to the day as Nick walked to the little shop and grabbed some bread as well as the weekend papers. He sat and read while I made everyone breakfast and then we both read for a while with a second cup of coffee! Eventually we got moving and caught the train to Milson's Point. From there we walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and down through the ...

Woke up to another beautiful day in Sydney. At 7am the sun was out, the sky was clear and the birds were chirping! Nick and I sat outside and had coffee and no one was in a rush for breakfast this morning. By the time we got going it was after 10am. We walked to the train station and caught the train to Bondi Junction, changing at Town Hall. From there we caught the bus to Bondi Beach and got off outside James Packers place and walked across to the beach c...

Woke up to a chilly morning and outside there was a mist covering the valley below us. We sat outside and had coffee and then began the breakfast marathon, which turned out to be a sprint this morning as the kids were all eager to go to the zoo! We caught the train to Circular Quay and the kids sat and stared out the window all the way there. They were beyond excited and at one point Matty yelled out "Look - it's the Sydney Half-a Bridge!" I don't think we wil...

We were all finished by 930am but didn't want to hit the road to Sydney too early so took one last walk to the lighthouse instead. Within a few minutes of walking the cliff top path we spotted two whales (a mother and calf humpback we think) frolicking in the water. They swam along to the lighthouse as we walked t...

Woke to yet another beautiful in Kiama and had coffee watching the ocean. The kids were in no rush for breakfast so Nick and I had a lovely long uninterrupted chat, which is quite unusual!! Nick made everyone pancakes while I did the laundry and then he began schoolwork while I went in to town to stock up on supplies for Sydney. I went for a walk down the high street first and found a new pair of sunglasses within 5 minutes, as I smashed mine a couple of day...
