Sydney Markets


Hi lovelies,

What an amazing couple of days we have had.

On Friday we headed into the city to collect my brother. 


He was in town for 2 days, and he was just so lovely and giving in sharing his family time with us.

Thursday it was just Mike, Rob and I and we had lunch together and then headed back to his unit to catch up with his beautiful wife, Niki.
Saturday was so busy that we have split it into two parts.
First got up super early 4.45am and headed into the Sydney Markets at Homebush. 
Wow, this was amazing.

We started with the fish section,




headed into the fruit and vegies,





went past this amazing spice man




cheeses and nuts and nibble bits were next




then some teas


and finally, onto the bread section.

The atmosphere was energetic, and it was an eye-opening experience to see the busyness of the place.  I was a little in the way as I was just wandering and taking photos. 😊.
From there we went to the flower market.  This was a delight of scents and colour.  


Orchids


 Roses

tulips
 


 sunflowers


 dried flowers
 
and so many more






I think Robbie was so very pleased that we were living in the van and so purchasing was not really on the cards for me.

The Sydney Markets are amazing and I would recommend a visit to anyone.  One note before going.  The markets are cash trading only, but they do have a number of ATM's for those who run out of dollars.
 
When we were finished Mike and his family headed to the beach, while we back to the van, where I had not 1 but 2 naps 😊.

This was the first part of our day - we will be back tomorrow with our evening activities and our adventures from today.  What were they, well you will just have to check back and see. 😉

 Take it easy lovelies, stay safe and keep enjoying life.

 Love us.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
