Goodbye Sydney

Our last day in Sydney we walked across the Harbour Bridge to The Rocks.  It is about a mile across.  When we did the Bridge Climb we received tickets to go up in one of the four pylons, which has a small museum about the building of the bridge, and an observation deck for views of the harbor and bays.  After going up in the pylon we continued to The Rocks for lunch at the Australian Hotel.  After lunch we walked back across the bridge to Kirribilli and started packing.  Because of the souvenirs and some clothing we bought while we were here all of our suitcases are stuffed extra full.  I guess we won't know until morning if they'll actually close or not. For supper Katka and I went out to eat in Kirribilli for the first time.  Despite all of the nice places to eat in the area, we always went somewhere else to eat out.  But because we were sort of in a hurry tonight we stayed close by and had a really nice meal.  I think Mother Nature put on a little extra show for us today, because it was beautiful, nice and warm - high 70s, and not a cloud in the sky. And when we got back from supper there was an extra special sunset. Looking back it has been an amazing three months, but we are all ready to move on.
