Sun, 14th Sept, 2014 Camden to Wahroonga (through Sydney)

Woke to a misty morning but the day improved and was spectacular from then on.

Headed off north and drove straight through Sydney on the Freeway, through the tunnel,

past the airport, with the City skyscrapers in the background to the right

through the tunnel under the runway

past the crazy cyclists on the freeway

through Sydney

past Circular Quay, looking towards the Bridge

amazing excavations to make all these roads

under another toll

and over the Harbour Bridge

a train whizzed by us on the Bridge

to Milson’s Point to visit Dennis & Rhonda (girlie did a good job).

Unfortunately it was Market Day there and there were cars everywhere. We drove around and found one a few streets over towards Kirribilli. Steve mounted the sidewalk as the road was so narrow we were sticking out too far.

Nice walk back towards the Bridge around one of the bays – lots of families enjoying the lovely weather – they have had a lot of rain here recently.

Rang Mum and Dad - she said she is going to be a great grandmother. Rebecca is expecting which is wonderful news. Sent her a text to wish her all the best. I will be a great Aunt in May

I do enjoy looking at all the old homes – Steve checks out all the gas pipes and is amazed at what he finds!!!

Through the markets where there was all kinds of different things, food etc and lots of secondhand clothes for sale. 

Went down through the park to under the Bridge, looking to the Opera House.

Along the waterfront to Luna Park.

It’s great that you don’t have to pay to wander around. Brought back memories of going there with Mum – the only time I remember her coming on a whizzy ride – think it was like the tea cup ones and she was on the outer edge and when it whizzed she got pushed onto Julie & I squashing us!!!! Had fun with the wobbly mirrors or is that just us now!!

Found a ferris wheel that was more Steve’s style!!

Zoomed in on the tourists walking the bridge – I enjoyed that when I did a few years ago.

Chatted with a guy about his helicopter camera thing – costs $1500 and connects to his iphone – great idea.

The sky writer was slowly spelling out I love LP – thought Luna Park – but then a W. There was a wedding at Luna Park so maybe it was for her. Looked great.

Had lovely burgers with Dennis & Rhonda in a new Burger place near the Bridge.

 The boys had milkshakes and

 We had fruit sodas.

Great to see them again.

An old church and some more houses.

In the car again and onto the Highway north to Wahroonga to see Steve’s cousin, Andrea and her family. Arrived in time to watch half of the V8s at Sandown while we chatted, enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

Had a lovely time catching up and a very tasty roast dinner.
