Back to UK

The last couple of days in Sydney were just as good as the rest. On Sunday we went to The Rock which is by the Harbour Bridge. Generally every Friday there is a farmer's market there and over the weekend there is a general market. This Sunday there was the annual coffee festival. There were rows of stalls with lots of local produce - coffee, tea, honey, baking, fresh food etc. I found a stall of a company called Disaster Bay Chillies. They had all the usual sauces and spices for cooking but what caught my eye was they were the company who did the Hot Chillie Wine (I had seen this at Melbourne airport but had been unable to buy). This is a wine made from chillies - well more of a liquore with a sweet taste with a kick of the chillie as it goes down the throat. Had it chilled - mmmmmmmmmmm nice.

There were also stalls for local arts and crafts and jewellery which were interesting. The weather was nice warm and sunny and all of Sydney was out in full force enjoying the fun and sun. Spent a quiet evening after all the walking about in the morning. Did the same on Monday as we were flying at night.

Return trip was not too bad but 24 hours still seems a long tiring journey. Getting back into UK time has been hard and we are just about in this time zone. Have started sorting the photos out and doing the captions so that I can put them up here.
