We managed to find a malasian restaurant that had seats but was VERY NOISY, the food was good and although on first inpection of the number of dishes we had ordered we thought that we would never get through it all, however we were all quite hungry!
We left the restaurant to seek a quieter place to have a coffee and dessert, the evening was rather chilly (not what is expected of Sydney in Summer!)
We started the great tour of Sydney the next morning with a rather nice breakfast in Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point and then walked around Finger Wharf where all the battleships seem to be propping up the wharf (jolly nice place to dock!)
We of course saw Russell Crowes penthouse at the end of Finger Wharf, he gave us a wave! (Mmm may have made that part up!).
We walked around the bay, around to Mrs Macquaries chair, but it had been taken over by a group of japanese who were all having their photos taken on the chair one at a time! so we dont have a photo!
The gardens were lovely and a wedding was going on in the grounds, it was a shame it was a bit drizzly at times. The rain however did disturb the 'flying foxes' BATS!who were so immobile during the rain that you hardly noticed them, it was when the rain had stopped that the commotion ensued! much flapping and wringing out of soggy bat parts occurred! They are however very bird like when they fly and I think rather cute.
We had a walk around the opera house but didnt bother to get a guided tour of the interior.
We stopped for lunch in Circular Quay and had a rather tasty bottle of NZ sauvignon blanc! We walked to the Rocks and the market was still quite busy but good crafty things on sale and no 'tat'!The shopping was the final straw that made us all weary so it we hopped onto the ferry and sailed to Darling harbour for a quick nap then out to dinner again, somewhere quieter!

I hope your family enjoy their visit. The gardens at Mrs M's Seat are very pleasant, aren't they? I'm surprised you didn't comment on how stinky the flying foxes are though – maybe the drizzle was damping that down too. Did you also visit the Art Gallery of NSW – nearby and well worth it. Also the Powerhouse is worth seeing.
