Sydney

We flew across Oz to Sydney where Joss was waiting for us. She drove us back through the city to her beautiful flat in Lavander Bay -- it has the best view of Sydney -- no lie! We went to the Hunter Valley the next day to take a wine tour with Wags, Joss' brother who is the assistant wine maker at a vineyard called Draytons. After lunch we returned back to have a dinner party with lots of friends that we'd met in London. The next day we spent walking around Sydney, with an afternoon at brand-new Sydney Wildlife World and an evening out on the town. The following day we split up and Si explored the botanical gardens while I went to the Australian museum and then did the Bondi to Bronte walk along the coast -- dramatic with the wind and surf pounding! That evening we met up with my manager from London, Marianne, for a drink and then cooked Mexican food for Joss' sister Pen and her fiance Jared. Though we'd have loved to stay on a bit longer (you'll understand when you see the view and if you've met Joss) it was off to Christchurch! E
