Sydney day 3: rest day
Welcome
Yesterday we continued our Sydney spectacular (holiday rest).
The blackout curtains worked extremely well yesterday and we overslept, this time not bursting into the day. Tristan put together a fine breakfast of fresh mango atop a bowl of Vogel’s Crunchy Oat Clusters - Blackberry, Blueberry, Cranberry flavour.
My afternoon run took me to Sydney Park. The tall brick chimneys in the photograph below belong to the brickworks that operated on the site from the mid 1800s until 1970. While I was out enjoying this multi-award-winning green space Tristan was in the hotel gym working on his body gains.
Sydney Park.
Later in the afternoon Jon and Liz headed into the city to participate in ‘Creative Minds’ workshop. They were subjected to a Q&A and a significant amount of cheese and crackers. They also managed to fit in a sunset beach walk along a couple of Sydney’s east coast beaches and took a handful of lovely photographs. For this service of providing content to the blog Liz and Jon are both awarded 5000 boints.
Look at this excellent shirt that Liz made for herself! An extra 200 boints for that!
Tristan and I attended a jazz gig in the evening. The highlight was bass player Jaques Emery who played an incredibly cool series of compositions for bowed double bass. These tunes made use of harmonics, percussive elements, and extended bowing techniques, but at times still felt like a folk dance with flowing rhythmic patterns. We were also thrilled to see three wild smartecartes® in the corner of the performance space. Hopefully these will never be returned to the confines of a trolley management unit.
