Day 23 - Last Full Day...Hit the town!
Coogee Beach - with time to relax this time without the walk!!Happy Birthday to Sandra... I hope my brother IS TAKING YOU OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe , my last full day and I finally get morning coffee served . Chalk was up and dressed and going to the Gym (this is such a strange start to the day).
Chalk at Watsons Bay
Watsons Bay was the destination this morning, lovely Bay with the famous Doyles Restaurant and Cafe. Apparently this one is riding on it's reputaton, neither of us finished lunch (goodness
this is the third strange event!) After a short time we went on to Coogee, and relaxed on the beach for the remainder of the afternoon. The sky is so blue and this I will truly miss. A young couple came on the beach with a small daughter similar to Isla's age and it was quite hard not to
kidnap her for a while. Back to base to shower and dress for the last night in the City, of course we weren't ready when Bek came home, oh dear I am getting more like Chalk!!!
Me on Heartbreak Hill - For City to Surfers anyway
Well, all ready for the last night out, train to the city, did I tell you I thought Sydney was flat?
well I wish! every where we go is on a hill or an incline. First stop was at Pier 26, a very popular place, we had a bottle of champagne, I have to ask are we celebrating me leaving ??
We walked along the King Street Wharf, this is a promenade of Restaurants, we decided on one called Nick's, a very smart Restaurant which we thought fitted the occasion,.particularly as where I was sat I could see a Brad Pitt lookalike! The meal was excellent and we had a very enjoyable evening.Chalk was asking which day had been the best this holiday but I really could not just pick one day, every day has been different and all new experiences. I do understand why he left England. The train didn't seem an option back home, we were all happy and tired but puplic transport suddenly seemed too much of an effort, so taxi home for my last sleep at Boronia Street for a while. I hope you have all had a nice evening back in England but I doubt you will have been dining outside! At least I will have missed trick and treat night that will have saved me fortune! Good night to one and all. J x

Well only two more sleeps and you will back home with us, two sleeps for us that is!
You look like you've had a fantastic time and I'm not sure if a trip with me to meadowhall can compete!
I've told Isla that Nan will be home soon and she smiled, she's probably thinking of the presents!
Looking forward to seeing you at the airport, seems ages now since you went. You will notice a change here dark nights and cold mornings. Today is a beautiful sunny day though but you definaltely need a coat.
Hope you have a good flight home and are not too tearful at the airport.
Give Chalky & Bek a big hug and kiss from us and see you soon.
Love ya
Lesley, Andrew & Isla xxxxxxxxxxx

Well Lesley's right about the weather Joan, It was 4 degrees this morning so I think you had better take the shoes back and get a fur coat instead. Thank you for the birthday card and wishes. Look forward to seeing you soon. Love to everybody out there.

What a sly one, a Brad Pitt lookalike that Joan could view from the table...she didn't point him out so I can only assume she means my Brad Pitt....Chalky!
