Day One Hundred and Fifty Three


The tacky sign I made...

Up and away early to the airport to collect the folks. We waited quite some time, there seemed to be many flights coming through at once.

We did see a couple of camera crews following one of the Aussie cricket team through the arrivals hall. About 5 mins later Leyton Hewett and Bec Cartwright his wife passed through too.

The folks then came through, was great to see them in Sydney, it will give us a chance to show them all the stuff we have talked about over the last 150 days or so.

We drove them back to Glebe and had a cuppa and a good catch up.

Once they had freshened up we took a walk to the fish markets for lunch, that was cool and Alvin was very interested in the activities there.

After lunch we walked to Darling Harbour and bought crystal a hat to avoid the sun.

We took them on the tram home so they knew how that works so they can get about without us if needs be.

An afternoon of scrabble and tea trying to keep them awake so they can nail the jet lag. A biggish thunderstorm just before dinner put paid to sitting in the garden We had dinner and folks finally crashed at about 8.30.

Tomorrow we'll take them shopping and then probably go to circular Quay or something (I've not even been there yet since emigrating to Sydney!).
