Holiday - Day 13

We left Canberra around 8am, heading for the coast where my friend Kath lives. Here’s the coast…

And here’s some of the lovely inhabitants of the coast…

We dropped in on Kath, a wonderful person who was once my spiritual mentor. It was fantastic catching up with her again, and seeing how happy she was with her new role as a teacher, helping long-term unemployed finding themselves and moving out into the workplace.

We made it to Darling Harbour…

After a seafood dinner at a lovely restaurant overlooking the harbour, we went for a walk. I got some nice night time shots…

We found a Starbucks, had a drink and watched the people go by. It was awesome.
