The London branch in Sydney

The London branch were well set up in their stylish Randwick Airbnb during their Sydney stay: lots of pool time for Eddie, fantastic toys to play with, great eating options nearby and plenty of shared time with Nanny and Poppa (and us)!  It helped (just) make up for the loss of Eddie and Ivy's Canberra playmates, although I think Eddie lost his Mojo for a bit - it was so quiet ...........

We didn't do too much in Sydney the first two days - it was too hot to venture far from the a/c and the pool. However by Monday we were able to set out on the ferry to Manly Beach - the classic Sydney visitor destination......




Eddie had recovered his Mojo by this and was a very animated traveller....


Manly had all the attributes Eddie looks for in a beach (namely seagulls!!)..........


Ivy had recovered her sleeping Mojo by today and we didn't see much of her until after lunch.
Lunch was truly amazin. We found the best restaurant eva..... chip pizzas on the menu... 3 thumbs up from Eddie!!
Ivy finally woke up - properly - on the ferry ride back to Circular Quay.....
Hope she doesn't forget seeing Sydney Harbour.......
Our last night together (last night) was lovely. We celebrated Eddie's 7th birthday with a cake and presents ..... The rockin rollin laughin kookaburra was a huge hit (yay!) - resulting in big smiles from Eddie....
and great hilarity all around....
... only to be relieved when those batteries wear out (soon I hope)!


Such precious times with these beauties.........
Can't bear to write how it felt to say goodbye!!!
