A cooler day after the shocker from yesterday. Still feeling the effects of the heat and humidity. Had it in my head to go into the city to do the Christmas tourist thing. Spent the morning doing investing accounts and the weekly investing post

Went into the city after lunch - took the Metro to new Martin Place station as the start of the tourist walk

View of Sky Tower from the station entrance

Photo theme for the day - up high - Westpac Bank

Cafe Paradiso in MLC Centre where I first met my wife face to face

Martin Place Christmas tree

Two views of Bank of New South Wales bank

Tram to hide the people on the ground level

Walked through Strand Arcade from the 1880s

Another Sky Tower view

Using the tram to highlight the old buildings

Walk through the Queen Victoria Building is a must for the Christmas tree - and the clocks

Clock on the other side

Always a stop at hobby shop to see the model trains - like the name of the station - Doonuthin

The tree does not start from the ground floor - some Aboriginal city/tree shapes

The front of QVB

Queen Victoria in front and 2 Park Street behind - site of my last ever office building

Walked down to Darling Harbour to meet up with my wife - front on photo of Westin Hotel - like the wings of a butterfly

Cockle Bay Wharf stork (brolga) sculpture

It is Christmas - and the W behind

View from Pyrmont Bridge to Barangaroo and two Manly Fast Ferries

Maritime museum statue with James Craig masts and Barangaroo behind

Been meaning to take photos of this wooden boat in front of my wife’s office for a while

We stopped for a beer in the coffee shop - Christmas tree in the lobby

Good to get a lift home

Dinner: Pasta with chicken and chorizo and a touch of tomato - worked well
