The market was inside a large building and it surprised us. Amongst the many stalls were many that were selling exactly the same products as all the tourists shops around all the main sites but at less than half the price. If only I could have justified or found a use for a kangaroo hide.
By now Karen was gasping for a coffee so we wandered to the Watson Bay Library which had set up a tea room on their front lawn. Despite a mix up with order probably caused by the French & Italian waiters trying to out flirt each other with the customers, we enjoyed our drinks and Karen's hot scones with cream and jam.
Watson's Bay in itself does not have a lot there. It is just a fantastic picturesque setting with the Harbour Bridge and City Skyline clearly visible. It is also a popular wedding spot as whilst we were there we saw 3 take place over looking the beach.
The ferry ride back was even more windy but lovely nevertheless. I don't think I could ever tire of this mode of transport. The views still take my breathe away and the cost of the ferry is ridiculously cheap.
Back in our hotel room we got most of packing completed before heading back to Circular Quay again. Tonight we ate at Pancakes of the Rocks where I had a healthy Caesar salad whilst Karen had Chocolate Pancakes with cherries.
We then walked round the Quay for the final time just as it was getting completely dark. There is something about the buildings and structures at that time of night that really do it for me. It sets my heart pounding with the sheer beauty of it all. For some people it can be paintings or whatever that has this effect on them. For me, it is scenes like this at night and in particular the sights around Circular Quay. I still wanted to pinch myself to prove that I was actually there. It still gives me a wow moment. Karen doesn't feel it as much but gets that I do. We took our last photos before heading back early as we knew we had a very early departure for the airport.
I know from feedback from eldest son and Karen that they do need editing better, with my grammar correcting and words added/deleted. I agree. However if I was to spend anymore time on this then it would start to impinge on the holiday, but I do need to improve.
I am also not happy with the wix software for blogging. It is cumbersome and restrictive. I would welcome any suggestions. It may be finally time for me to invest in my own domain and host it as such myself.
Anyhow off to bed now, after yet another conference call with the team in Norwich to understand progress on the project. Up early tomorrow for the long trek to the Beach Resort in Thailand.
