No trip to Sydney would be complete for me without...
..a ride on the Manly Ferry to Circular Quay. Mum and I caught the bus into Manly and then visited Adriano Zumbo's shop before we got the ferry--lots of yummy things there (and I bought his book recently). On the way the rain pelted down so we caught the train up to the Town Hall and from there walked through the Queen Victoria building, I never tire of admiring its architecture and it is so good to see it in its restored form...what a loss it would have been if some people had got their way in the past and had it demolished....
We were able to stay under cover by using the under road access and the above the road walkways that connect the buildings...I had a good look around to see what had changed since my last trip...and it was lots! But some things never change....

The bridge is something still to be admired...
As is Fort Dennison, so near and yet so far from the shore...
The week has zoomed by since we made this little trip down "memory lane"
