Dennis and Lucy go round the world: See ya Wibs, we’re off back to Sydney.

Thanks a lot to the Wibble (Peter, Roisin and Sam Nangle) family for a lovely weekend at their house in Winmalee. It was such a shame that it rained so much because as Lucy said yesterday, the Blue Mountains really are lovely. We all went out for a meal at a local tavern on Saturday night where the food was good and the beer was even better. Top tip. Next time you see the Foster’s advert where they tell you it’s the beer the Aussies drink, laugh your socks off because I will tell you now, there is more chance of me getting struck by a piece of engine off an Airbus 380 than there is of me getting a Fosters in Aus.

Anyway, we drove back to Sydney after watching the MUFC v Wolves match, (That’s an hour and a half of my life I will never get back. L ) where the sun was shining for the first time since we flew down here. There was a lot going on down at the Harbour where they were trying to get home made planes made in the shapes of baths, bats, beds and …well anything that doesn’t fly and falling 25 feet off a ramp into the water. We walked around the botanical gardens where we saw loads of fruit bats hanging from the trees.

Also Debbie (my cousin) if you are reading this, do you remember when we took you to Covent Garden market, there was a street entertainer there who did some juggling, and had a bike on the top of a pole? Well it’s a small world because he was doing his show under a bridge in Sydney harbour today. (picture attached)

All in all we had a lovely day and walked all over the city. We contemplated walking over the Harbour Bridge but decided to save that for tomorrow; instead we had an outdoor meal in Hyde Park watching the sun go down.
