We started early to meet Karen and Hannah in Manly and had just time to congratulate Hannah on her birthday and give Hannah her present before Hannah, Aaron and Harry set off on their seven plus hour journey home.
We went into Manly for a coffee (Latte and cappuccino to be precise), leaving the teenagers behind – did Becky notice us while watching telly?
Leaving Karen at the apartment, we met Ali and Peter and set of to the closest shopping mall. I got too t-shirts for 20 asd (Bargain!) and Louise got her fix of retail therapy by buying a new outfit for the summer (or the sunshine coast; whichever way you look at it). On our way back to Growther avenue it started to rain and we enjoyed a rest in the cool rooms.
After a couple of beers we set off to Balmoral beach to meet Allister and Bonnie, and Rob (after his training). Thanks to the grey weather, we were able to sit outside the fish and chip shop with our byo drinks and order our food without queuing. Rob arrived just when the shop was closing and Ali managed to secure the last portion of fish and chips for him. We sat at the table outside the fish and chips shop, watching the bats arriving from the Botanical Gardens until late. We said our good bye’s to Allister and Rob with lots of “See you in the summer”. Ali and Peter drove us back to our hotel for our last night in Sydney.
