Winter day at Watson's Bay


Coming back from Bali I was struck again by the beauty of Sydney. We just adore this city. On Sunday we revisited one of our favorite spots - Watson's Bay. Riding the ferries through Sydney harbor will never get old. I could spend every day between now and August 29th just on ferries.



Once at Watson's we took the girls to the playground, indulged in some fish and chips and then split up to explore two new areas. Emily and Brian took the high road and walked up along the cliff's edge. 




Meanwhile, Tess and I explored the harbor side. We found a sneaky spot to snack on passionfruit. 


We then walked over to the secluded Camp Cove beach. The water was a lot cooler than in Bali but it felt nice to relax on the beach and not have anyone sell us anything. 




On the way back to the ferry dock Tess and I picked out our favorite house - the blue one - and our favorite boat - also blue. 




We are clearly not ready to be done with Sydney yet. In fact, Brian and I have started daydreaming about having a retirement home here. (We can dream, right?) We hope thirty years from now the trip between Boston and Sydney will go a lot faster.


I'll leave you with a parting shot of this pelican. See the photo below for the scale of this nearly-kid-sized bird.
