The weekend

My favourite spot are still the Botanic Gardens, and I've spent a lot of time just sitting there, watching time, ships, bats, ants, ibis etc. go by and being happy. Friday evening, I joined the long queue and got a ticket for the open air cinema there. Amazing setting - forgettable film (Marley and me).

On Saturday, I went to Watson's Bay by ferry and did a walk around the cliffs there, then had fish and ships at the famous Doyles seafood restaurant.

Sunday, the main event was an interesting guided walking tour round King's Cross, Sydney's famous red-light district. It's a very diverse area, parts of it very posh (I now know where Hugh Jackman lives when he's in Australia, not that it matters), parts extremely poor, lots of tourists, lots of drugs, at times violent, but also colourful with interesting shops and restaurants.
