[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 621479, member: 77"] Can you believe that I haven't yet seen a single kangaroo or koala, only road signs warning that they might be crossing the road! But I hope on Thursday we will go to a place where we can see them. Today (Sunday) it was still raining, but we decided that rain or not, we would do some touring. He has a car. So we drove north to a national park (Australia seems to be full of national parks) and the scenery was just beautiful. North Shore National Park, and we stopped at Illawong Point. Mountains, river, people fishing, loads of green everywhere, and peace and quiet. It was heavenly. Then, even though it was still raining, we decided to do the real touristy stuff here in Sydney and we went to the Circular Quay from where the ferries leave and next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, both of them spectacular sights. To our amazement, moored there was the colossal Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth. What a beautiful sight that ship is!! So we walked around. Hopefully tomorrow we will go to the Blue Mountains, rain or not. On Tuesday and Wednesday he's working, but he will be free on Thursday and Friday so we are considering flying to the Gold Coast on Wednesday night until Friday noon. He has a friend there whom we can stay with. Haven't made a final decision yet -- it's all a bit much! OK, that's it for now. We are still getting on OK, but I hope it lasts until I leave. He is nervous and edgy, but if I play it cool we are OK together. He is really making an effort for me and I appreciate that. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
