Day forty three

Our last full day in Aussieland and we spent the morning filling a skip! All the work that has been done on James and Grace's house had generated a large amount of waste and we felt that the most useful thank you we could offer was to help them fill a skip. But, as we are down under, the skip was a very Australian affair.

James had been eying the surf all morning and decided that he deserved a surf so we walked down to watch him catch a few waves. And this time we watched him and got some photos of him, not Francis-not-Henry.

  We then had lunch of a selection of cold meats and cheese that Grace had gone to get specially for our last lunch. In the afternoon we walked the coast path one last time. The waves were not as good as the morning.

But Sydney put on the best weather we could hope for on our last day.

In the evening James and Grace took us to Sefa, a Middle Eastern restaurant for our last meal. The place was exotic and the food was delicious.

Over the meal we made plans for a return visit. To Sydney that is not Sefa necessarily, which means that all this 'last' stuff was pretty pointless. So James and Grace will hope to come to the UK later this year, we will go back to Sydney at about the same time next year and include a two week trip with James and Grace to New Zealand in the itinerary and then James will be in Cambridge in the middle of 2018.
