Home again...

We made it home Tuesday about noon. Just in time to see Scott off to Ohio, his flight left about 1:30. Karin picked us up which gave us a chance to see the grandkids. Sophie has really changed in the 3 weeks we were gone. Sitting up by herself and pulling herself up.

We managed to stay up until 8 pm and caught up on some sleep. Will try to catch up of things before we head off to California for our fall craft show on the 28th. It was a wonderful trip and can not believe that it went by so fast.

Sightseeing in Sydney

Today we took a tour of the Sydney Opera House which was very interesting. We then got on a ferry to Darling Harbor where we went into the Aquarium. They had underground viewing of shark and sting rays and also Barrier Reef fish. Then did the usual walk across the bridge and the climb to the top of one of the support pylons.

This is the view from the pylon. Tomorrow we leave for home. We leave here at 11:15am Tuesday and get back to LA at 6:45am Tuesday.

Blue Mountains

Today we took the train to Central Station and then out of town (2 hours) to the Blue Mountains. It was a perfect day and we walked all around the rim with great views. We had a shuttle bus pass so we could get on and off at different walks and views.

These are the three sisters....

Sydney, Australia

Today we flew to Sydney. this is the view from our balcony. The Opera House is just to the right of this photo. There was a great street market today and we got to shop along the streets.

Green Island - Great Barrier Reef

Friday was a beautiful day and we took the boat our to Green Island. We had a chance to swim, snorkle and generally relax. The water was very warm.

Rainforest Trek - Kuranda

On Thursday, it rained and of course we went to the rainforest. We took the train up to Kuranda. This railroad was built in the late 1800's by hand with 15 tunnels and many bridges. The ride was beautiful.

After spending the day in Kuranda we took the Skyrail down over the tops of the forest with two stops for viewing along the way.

Tjapukai Cultural Park

We are a little behind in our blog so I will try to catch up. On Tuesday we flew to Cairn's and the Great Barrier Reef. We have a great condo right on the beach. On Wed. we went to the Aboriginal park. It was very well done and very informative.
