Well another phase of the trip is coming to an end as we leave the cruise ship today. It has been a good 'home' for the two weeks. But there is more to see in Sydney and more folks to meet. Today we are meeting up with Liz's good friend Renee's parents (Renee came down from school in Redding to see Liz at our house). And Sandra recognized her right away as she, Judy, looks alot like Renee. Judy and Mal took us on a tour the city some and we went up the observation tower to get a birdseye of Sydney.
It is a big city with a huge bay so there is lot's of waterfront properties. We had lunch on the edge of one of the harbors along with Liz and her dad Rob. Later we took a couple of ferry rides to get another aspect of the city. It gives you a whole different way to get around besides busses, trams and the downtown monorail.
After the boat ride we drove into the suburb were Mal and Judy live, dropped of our bags, had a quick bit of tea and shot off to Hillsong church. Hillsong is a really big, quite well-known around the world church that has alot of energy and excellent music. And tonight they were doing a pre-recording run thru of a big event that they will tape for a worship cd so we got the full experience. Huge auditorium with tons of younger people, a great worship band, a mosh pit, and a really vibrant worhip service. A lot of fun and as we haven't been to church since Auckland it was especially good. Sorry but I had left my camera at home so you will have to check out their website to get a feel for it. We really needed dinner after that so we picked up some chinese takeaway and had a real nice time back at Mal and Judy's. And then we all crashed.
