I was talking to a friend at yoga yesterday, and she said that she thinks I have wanderlust. For the next half hour I heard all about her travels overseas, and the ones she has planned. What's that about everyone we meet is our mirror? Wanderlust is the word for the week. Here are some scenes from our recent travels in Sydney. After meeting some new Canadian friends in Sydney, we are now contemplating house sitting in Canada.
The view from where we stayed in Sydney. So many cruise ships visiting, a different one each day. They are so quiet entering and leaving the harbour. We were only aware of the ship's horn as she notified the harbour of her exit.
A Salvador Dali sculpture exhibit was on at The Rocks, but we'd seen it in Paris. Just thought I'd drop that in there.
We wandered around Sydney's foreshores, and then hoped on one ferry after the next. Thoroughly enjoyed walking around Watson's Bay.
We had a great time in Sydney, meeting up with old friends and meeting new friends from Canada at Squires Landing at The Quay.
A little bit of synchronicity, on returning home. I found a sweet little watercolour at my local shop. We'd been chatting with new friends and sailors from around this area in Canada. I've never seen any artworks of Canada before in our small home town, in fact anywhere in Australia for that matter.
The Hawaiians have a saying, 'mea e kālele ana ma luna o kou kiʻi hou o' - 'what you focus on you get more of'. Perhaps it was after listening to stories of sailing on Lake Ontario, which brought my attention to the painting or synchronicity, who knows but it was fun to see. I hope you get to visit OZ again one day M & R - thanks again for a lovely evening at The Quay.
Fancy a water front camping site for a night or more? Check out Cockatoo Island, for basic stays to upmarket glamping.
We have seen more of Sydney now that we don't live there, as tourists, than we did in over 30 years as residents. What a beautiful Harbour we have. And, how great are our ferries and water ways to travel on. Can't wait for our next trip down there.
Before the drive home we had a lovely stop off at a favourite spot we discovered last year, while house sitting on Sydney Harbour. Flying Bear at Kirribilli - highly recommended.
