It’s Still a Good (even if itchy) Life

Despite the fact that I was woken up at 3:30am this morning by an incessant mosquito, that managed to wriggle it’s way into our supposedly protective net, I have maintained an heir of positivity throughout this lengthy day.  And since I promised to share more photos with you, I figured I might as well post the ones I managed to snap as a result of my ultra early rising.

I was able to watch the sunrise from our roof, and even managed to catch the last fruit bat returning to his roost.

I watched not one, but two, cruise ships come in before 8am.

I had some time after breakfast to talk a walk . . .

. . . to the local pool for a swim.  It may have been full of kiddies on their school holiday, but there was still room for me.  These pictures are from the sun deck.  It faces Luna Park in one direction . . .

. . . and the Harbor Bridge in the other.

I took another quick trip up to the roof this afternoon and the harbor was full of sailboats.  Now the cruise ship is on it’s way out of the harbor, probably going up the Brizzie.  Since I only have about 4 hours of sleep under my belt, finishing this glass of shiraz may mean falling asleep before I get to enjoy the sunset, but it’s still been a pretty good day.
