Got up and had a cooked breakfast - the first since we set foot in Aus!
Went for a walk around Sydney centre -avoiding the showers which were exacerbated by a strong wind
Met our friend Jackie and had a leisurely catch up lunch
Walked over the harbour bridge to Sydney OUTDOOR Olympic 50m pool for a swim. Pool was heated and warm - much warmer than the outside temperature.
Swam several lengths in the outdoor pool, while watching a cruise ship pass under the harbour bridge.
Walked back over the harbour bridge in the pouring rain - whipped up by the wind, and arrived back at the hostel soaked to the skin.
Had a leisurely evening meal, washed down with some cheap but pleasent Australian wine.
Reminisced with Jackie about our time in Sydney 20 years ago, and looked up our old flatmate on the Internet.
Spoke to our neighbour on Skype - sounds like the house at home is still standing, and look forward to meeting the new cat!
Went to bed later than planned, and having drunk more wine than necessary!
Tucking into our 1st cooked breakfast in months!
Liz, Eleanor, Katherine and Jackie brave the Olympic Pool

Returning from the pool - SOAKED TO THE SKIN!
