December, the height of summer in Sydney, and the weather was perfect, sunshine and temperature in the low 70s. I rode the ferry from Circular Quay to Watson’s Bay for an hour’s walk up and down the hilly path at dizzying heights above the Tasman Sea. The views are gobsmacking; nothing in the US that I’ve seen matches it. And yet this is but one of countless places like it here in Australia. Lucky Aussies! I ended up at Doyles for some fresh whole snapper with rocket salad and avocado-mango chutney, washed down with some icy local Riesling. Expensive with the current exchange rate, but worth it, a real treat! I rode the ferry back as the day began to cloud over. I hear it’s been an unusually chilly and damp summer down here, and everyone I spoke to today told me I timed my visit well, they hadn’t had a day this fine in a while. My lucky day!! It was a blissful afternoon.
