Another visitor from Blighty

On 21st May, my Mom arrived in Sydney from the UK. Mom was obviously a bit dubious of the long haul flight but after travelling for almost 24hrs she seemed remarkably fresh and happy.
It was great to see my Mom again after almost a year apart. We speak practically daily via Skype but It's not the same as face to face contact.

Mom had had a great journey over and taken it all in her stride. To think before my Dad passed away, I don't think she would have entertained the idea of solo travel, let alone the other side of the planet.

I had booked a room at the Holiday Inn located at Darling Harbour for the night, so after a good nights rest we set off to explore the "Big City"

We had a wander around darling Harbour and then took a ferry round to Circular Quay travelling under the bridge to the wharf. We went round the Opera house and then to "the Rocks" where there was a street market selling lovely hand crafted items.

The weather unfortunately wasn't too kind to us but didn't dampen our spirits.

I took Mom to the Queen Victoria building and round some of the main streets before we set off on the five hour return journey to Port Macquarie.
