"so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
Day two of our stay in Sydney dawned the opposite of the rainy, gray Monday on which we arrived, and we made the most of the day. We started the morning by walked the Harbor Bridge and the area on the north side of the bridge. We then explored Circular Quay and the area of the Opera House and even watched the area being sealed off on account of a handbag someone had left behind. From the Opera House we went to the Royal Botanic Gardens next door, interrupting out visit to have lunch at the Spice Room, an Indian restaurant.

After returning to the Botanic Gardens we went on and walked around Mrs. Macquaries Point and our oldest daughter, a doctor, even assisted a girls who had been running the steps there and who had a bad fall. Returning to Circular Quay we caught the bus to Bondi Beach, where we watched the surfers for a while and then walked south along the cliffs to Mackenzies Point and on to Tamarama Beach where we watched the sunset before heading back to Circular Quay and to our rooms at the Rocks Youth Hostel - a fabulous day.
