DAY 9

ANOTHER GREAT DAY FROM DOWN UNDER

After a very hot day in Sydney it was nice to relax back at the hotel and enjoy the air-conditioning until it was time to get to sleep.  The hotel has been very quiet which has been a big plus.  

We enjoyed breakfast back the Club Lounge.

The Regent Seven Seas Navigator arrived shortly after we sat down as it made its way over to the White Bay terminal and the Royal Caribbean Voyager Of The Seas was already docked at Circular Quay.

Today is Gui's birthday so we wished him a Happy Birthday when we arrived.  

In addition to Andre having school today, Emma went to pre-school which she attends two times each week on Thursday and Friday.  This is her third week at pre-school.   While the children were at school and Gui at work we spent a good portion of the day with Jennifer.

After arriving to the families apartment Anne Marie went with Jennifer and Emma and took Andre to school and then they drove back and picked Keith up and we dropped off Emma at school and got to see the school for the first time.

We then went to a former military base where we parked and then walked on a pathway down to Chowder Bay.  The walk was beautiful with lots of lush vegetation on both sides and beautiful views of the surrounding area.  We returned on the same path and then stopped off a venue where they serve morning and afternoon tea as Jennifer is thinking of taking Emma there sometime in the next couple of months.  

We drove back to the downtown area where Jennifer lives and walked around for awhile.  We enjoyed a couple of hours back at the apartment before picking up Emma and Andre at school.  Later in the afternoon we walked about 35 minutes back into town and met Gui for his birthday dinner.  It was a nice place that worked well for the family called The Burger Shed.  Jennifer brought a cake to celebrate Gui's birthday.

It was a great day.  It was all about family.
