Hanging out in Darling Harbour

Ah, it is a grand thing to explore Sydney in the summertime. Blue skies, happy people and lots of stuff to do. After our traditional late Saturday breakfast (coffee, toast, David B* Astle), we launched ourselves into the sunny blue day and the Sydney Festival.

After checking the timetable, we managed to get on the right train first time.

First stop was Darling Harbour. There is some striking architecture around it these days. Please ignore corporate logo for maximum effect.

Once there, it was a bit quiet, so we just hung out for a while.

James got a bit bored and started climbing the walls.

Up around Tumbalong Park it is pretty civilised. Deck chairs and umbrellas are scattered about. Very relaxing, and a good place to watch the passers by passing by.

Shame there were no cocktails

On to the Festival Village at Hyde Park. Who needs Europe?

As it was not raining, we took refuge in the outdoor library.

James still needed directions

And then, coffee in the Strand Arcade. $3.50!
