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 . . .

Under the Bridge

. . . 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 . . .

North Sydney Pool

. . . 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.
