Nick and Megan's trip to Sydney

Nick and Megan were here for a whirlwind week. We went to Shoal Bay for a few days and Nick took heaps of great photos of rocks and waves and birds, and of course us!

Sarah and Ben collected a lot of shells. It took ages to walk along the beach because every inch of sand was thoroughly searched for any 'pretty' shells.

Two days went by very quickly but it was fun and really felt like a holiday.

Then it was the rest of the week in Sydney and we coordinated our Rivercat trip to coincide with the masses of people flooding into the city for world youth day. Nick took heaps of photos of flags, people from all over the world, us walking around the city, buildings, food, ...everything! The atmosphere was all a-buzz with the pilgrims singing, chanting, waving flags all over the city.

We walked from Circular Quay to Chinatown, had yum-cha (Nick's first time), and then walked to Darling Harbour, had a Lindt Cafe stop, had a quick look at where they were holding the WYD mass (but we couldn't see anything because the gates were closed to us), and then onto the Rivercat back home. We were quite pooped.
