I woke up at 3:30 AM. Down to the lobby at 4:30 for coffee, newspaper, and review photos from Venice Beach...many look very good...soon to be posted. Then at 6:00 AM a long birding walk thru the Botanic Garden spotting quite a few exotic birds such as Laughing Kookaburra, Sulfur-crested Cockatoo and many more. The Garden is becoming overrun with 1000's of Grey Flying Foxes, a very large, impressive bat with a wing-span of a meter. (photos to come). Back to hotel at 8:30. Nan is up and we head off to Starbucks for breakfast.
It is a beautiful day in Sydney. We spend a very leisurely day, Botanic garden, viewing the famed Sydney Opera, strolling around Circular Quay, and visiting the Australian MOCA.
Our Aussie friends, Byron and Belinda, who we met while kayaking BC in 2007, have invited us for a barbie on Sunday. Should be fun.
