If anyone reads this please post a comment - it is so easy and makes me feel it is all worthwhile.
I am having my first session in an internet cafe just down from the hotel at 1 dollar per half hour as opposed to 55 cents per minute in the hotel.
Since my last post yesterday(Sunday) I went down to the harbour and ended up having a T-bone steak with Peter/Sue/Paul/Jean/Ray/Eileen. On to a bar with live salsa music and the Newcastle v Liverpool match. We saw the fireworks celebrating the final of Australian Idol.
Up bright and early today for the Blue Mountains tour with about 14 others. Read in the paper that Manchester United lost and that Steve Bruce is now Wigan Manager!!
Really good day seeing Echo Falls and the Three Sisters. Then on the steepest railway in the world down into the gorge, walked along a 2 k boardwalk thru the rainforest and back up in a cable car. Lunch in a lovely little village called Leura.
Tonight we all went to the largest buffet in the world at the Star City Casino - David Beckham is staying at their hotel ready to play for LA Galaxy tomorrow night, but he did not come to meet us. Posh was said to be posing for photos outside the Opera House. Did not lose any money at the Casino.
Off to Canberra tomorrow - will be sad to leave Sydney as there is so much more to see. No pictures today, cos this computer does not accept the cmera card, although I have loads.

Hi Barry
Glad you are having a wonderful time - Did you see Russel Crowe's Penthouse in Darling Harbour -similar to your pad at home. Hope the bats did not fall from the trees during your run around Sydney Harbour and you were able to see the magnificent lilac coloured jacarando trees. Thank you for thinking of us in the blue mountains. Leura was a lovely place, did you lunch at Silks Brasserrie? I am enjoying your blog very much. Take care Pat and familyxxx
