We have just returned from our visit to Sydney,the last visit was over 40 years ago,
when SS Chusan called into circular quay and stayed for 6 days on a short maintenance period to take on supplies and passengers.
Wow!!, What a beautiful city, so many changes and modernization over the last 40 years.
Peter Doyle's restaurant on circular quay, at the foot of Sydney Harbour bridge was my favourite restaurant of all the restaurants that we dined in , super food at a reasonable prices, bravo Peter..
We found Darling Harbour, not only a beautiful family corner, but a very friendly tourist area with so many things to see, with a very high quality of restaurants of different types of cuisine.
A plus, was the things to do, to see, we loved the harbour movements with the ferries and cruises,darling harbour to circular quay and visa versa, is my favourite, under the bridge,the smell of sea air and the magnificent views,..
Bravo Australia !!!!.
Sydney, I like you, a city you are, a city that talks,
A city of the old ways and a city of our new modern ways.
You won me over and I,we, will come again, soon I hope...............
But now I must return to my younger days of 1967, and complete my voyage.
I met my first real love when I was 21 years old,and now we are back together after 40 years,she's a georgous 61 year old , I am now 62 years old.
