Sydney, Australia

Good Morning,
We did not blog yesterday. However we will catch you up on our activities now.....
We flew Jetstar from Cairns to Sydney, arriving around 2 pm. We caught a shuttle to our hotel and quickly dropped our stuff and headed to the train stations several blocks away. We took the train to city center and found our way to the Sydney Tower. The Sydney Tower is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. (Duff read that somewhere) Quite a view from the top and we got some good pics.
We then found our way to a food court (sorta like Peachtree Center I guess) and ate end of the day Japanese food, :):):) (I called it leftovers and Duff says it was 'close outs'.
We found the train stations and made our way back to our hotel!
This morning we stopped in a pastry shop for b'fast and had our first really good cup of coffee.
Now we are headed to see the sights of Sydney. Did I say that it is a beautiful day 'down under'? Well it is!!
By the way if you wish to contact us by phone our number for the time we are here (cell) is:
0424691256. Feel free to pass this number on.........it is free for INCOMING calls in Australia....that is until we head to PNG on the 1st of Oct. Hopefully there will be no emergencies!
Until our next blog...........
Love to all........Mary and Jim (aka Mom and Dad)

Way to go Duffies. Every day Jon
asks if you have sent another blog.

I'm sure the wind at Sydney Harbour
has given both of you quite new
hair styles.

Keep those blogs coming.
