A Week in Hornsby

This week was spent in Hornsby (a suburb of Sydney). After being burnt at Manly Beach we spent the next day just relaxing and recovering.
The next day Mike and Laura headed out on a morning adventure that brought them up 880 feet into the air as they took a walk on the Skywalk. This walk takes you up the Skytower in the middle of Sydney and allows you to look 360 degrees around the city. It was a great time enjoying the scenery and meeting our fellow adventurers.
A picnic with a friend at a national park followed by a night in the city at the theater seeing FAME was a great way to spend Friday.
Saturday we ended our time in Hornsby by meeting up with Lisa and Abbey at the Bees Knees cafe. It's a really cute little vintage cafe. The 4 of us at our breakfast there and then headed to Darling Harbour for some lunch and to explore Paddy's Market. We enjoyed our lunch in a place that was for the birds. You could sit in little chairs that looked like hanging cages as well as eating looking out on the harbour. It was a great food and convos.
Paddy's Market is a massive room that is in Chinatown filled with little stores that you can get deals on any and everything. I'm thinking that another visit here needs to be done to pick up some gifts for people back home.
After the market we said our goodbyes to Abbey and Lisa as we were dropped off just outside of the train station on our way to meet Jono and Rozzy for our 7 hour drive to Dubbo.
