Darling Harbour

Next day was Murray's birthday, so we arranged to meet him at the Opera House and have lunch together. Our journey over on the ferry was not as eventful as the first one. The seas have calmed down quite a lot since we arrived. The trip to/from Manly takes you straight past the Opera House and close to the bridge, so there are always lots of people taking photos.



We were early, but Murray found us at the Opera bar and joined us for his first birthday drink. Then we caught the ferry round to Darling Harbour, right under the bridge this time. Darling Harbour seemed to be a never-ending row of cafés and restaurants, and since it was Friday lunchtime they were all busy. There wasn't much evidence of the drop in the stock market having any impact on Sydney's diners.


Later we headed back over to Manly and enjoyed a glass of wine or two with takeaways on the hotel balcony. The hotel may have been expensive, but we didn't spend money on eating out.
