Weekend in Sydney

Marg & I met Mark & Mel in Sydney for the weekend to celebrate both their birthdays. 
After several days in the Blue Mountains, Mel & Mark had to tackle the Friday afternoon traffic in Sydney to pick me up from the airport.  A hot humid day was a sign of the weekend.  We welcomed the air conditioned comfort at the Medina Grand before heading over to darling Harbour via the monorail for a touch of steak, a welcoming beer and a great street theatre performance.

While all of this was going on, Marg was stuck on the runway at Melbourne airport as Melbourne experienced one of its worst storms for the summer.  Arriving over two hours late was disappointing but tolerable.

Saturday presented a 43 degree day which curtailed our wander around the Rock market but provided a superb trip on Sydney Harbour from Circular Quay to Double Bay and Rose Bay on our way to Watsons Bay and a wonderful lobster at Doyles.  On return we found our way to the Aquarium at Darling Harbour, which once again, kept us out of the heat of the day.
