Walk to Lavender Bay

The next day was beautifully sunny but a very cool wind was blowing. Craig accompanied his parents, his Uncle Jim and cousin Maree on a nice walk down to Lavender Bay.


That part of North Sydney, just across the Harbour Bridge from the city has a lot more high density housing than it had in the past but it's still a nice part of the world.


Craig is now very experienced at smiling for the camera.


But his Dad's camera was acting up again when it came time to take a picture of him with Maree.


And, when Craig's Dad tried to take a group picture, Craig didn't even to pretend to be patient. The sun was nice and warm plus the harbourside park was down out of the wind. It was a very pleasant spot for a sit and chat.


There were some very cute little sculptures in the bushes running alongside the harbourside park. For those who aren't familiar with the area, this is the entrance to a nearby fun park called Luna Park.


This picture was taken just outside of the laughing mouth entrance to Luna Park, looking across to the Sydney Opera House.


The area has a lot more Chinese people than it did in the past as well. That's where the demand for the high density housing seems to come from. The local church, just a few hundred yards up the hill from Luna Park, has adapted to the times.


Then, it was back to the "vast" hotel room that was occupied by Craig's Uncle Jim, Aunty Anne, Elizabeth and Maree aka "Jim and the Girls".


As usual for this holiday, Craig had no shortage of playmates.


The evening finished at a lovely Italian restaurant, the name of which Craig's Dad has forgotten. The staff were super-accomodating about us having baby at what looked like a high class place.

Bailey did his best to keep everyone entertained.


He also ate a fair share of the herb bread. He has a very good appetite.
