Enjoying our belated birthday meals at the world's largest revolving restaurant
Our Hotel room and scrummy hamper over looking the bridge
This is my gaff
Great view from our last fine dining experience on the rocks
So we left lovely misty Katoomba and took the two hour train journey into Sydney. We were so excited to be there and meet up with Les and Lorraine! We checked into the lovely Hotel Intercontinental and gawped at the bridge from our hotel room!!!
Over the next few days the four of us enjoyed Sydney. We went on a jet boat ride, saw the Opera House and had a closer inspection of the bridge. We went to the Aquarium, an Ice Bar (we all looked like eskimos in our big coats!) and ate at the world's largest revolving restaurant. We saw the excellent fireworks on New Year's Eve whislt enjoying Champagne and a picnic hamper. We finished our magnificent stay by eating lobster at a restaurant on the Rocks with a clear view of the Opera House! It was just magical. Thank you so much Les and Lorraine!
We will be returning to Sydney at the end of February - yippee!!!
Now a dim and distant memory back in cold UK- a bit like the Ice Bar really without the cocktails! There's a great poster ad for Quantas airines which shows the fireworks on the bridge at NYE- can't believe we were there! David, did you get to check on your watch exactly how high up we were and the distance travelled round the restaurant at the point the photo was taken....Nic- hope the shoes are being used and you're gearing up for the next Barnes haircut.
Enjoy it all.
