Where does time go?

It's six days since my last entry and I'm still exploring Sydney, while friends are coming and going to and from UK, Europe and US mainly, making my head spin.  You'd think they were just popping round the corner, not sitting on a plain for days at a time.  It would be a nightmare for me but they obviously enjoy it.  Mind you, my scenery is spectacular, so I'm quite content:
The CBD, where all the skyscrapers are, is actually quite small.  There are only two other places, North Sydney (just to the north of the bridge) and Chatswood (a bit further to the north, about halfway between Hornsby and the city) where you'll find skyscrapers - the rest of Sydney is pretty low.  The Botanic Gardens (where my son was married) is on the left.  One of my friends lives directly opposite the Opera House and this is her view (though from the ground).  She sometimes walks to work over the bridge and through the gardens.
This is a terrific view, stretching to the ocean.  I always take the train as it saves the hassle and expense of parking in the city and I enjoy the ride.  It takes about 45 minutes from Hornsby.  North is to the left.
Just fabulous!


Winifred, it would be lovely if you could pop in!


Please everybody, send me some photos of your area.
