kayaking


Kayaking on the Sydney harbour was a fantastic experience. Ant and I would completely recommend it. We had a private tour that started at 6:30 am with Patrick from Natural Wanders. Our paddle took us from Lavender Bay, under the Harbour Bridge (avoiding the ferries) and along the shoreline of Kirribilli then around Kirribilli Point opposite the Opera House.


We paddled past Admiralty House (the Governor General's residence) and Kirribilli House (Prime Minister's residence) the along to Neutral Bay. In Neutral Bay we looked at some famous racing yachts and followed the shoreline around Kurabba Point into Shell Cove then along Cremorne Peninsula and around the lighthouse at Robertson Point into Mosman Bay.


After our paddle around Mosman Bay we took a more direct route across the harbour back to Lavender Bay. In total we paddled 12 km. Here we are, tired and happy, returning under the bridge.

Hey!
Thanks for the posts

claire has no idea about what sort of lessons are out there so we put her in them so we could have an activity for the afternoon. I cant say she loves them. She is nervous... also I told her "first you have swimming lessons and when they are over then it will be time for you to go to the school with the purple door (her preschool for the fall that she is really excited about). She was under the impression that if she went once to swim class, that as soon as it was over we walked to the school. I was trying to give her a time-line for when school started in the Fall. oops!
