a special treat for me

i studied art many years ago and painted for years but somehow i put it on the backburner since i retired.  today i treated myself to a wonderful exhibition at the adelaide art gallery.  the french impressionists.  one of my favourite artists is cezanne and there were three of his paintings included in the exhibition.  all i can say is wow.  i'm so glad i went.  i should make the effort and go again soon.  the pics are not very good.  it was hard to get good views as there were so many people.

a few pics of the cruise

which was too short.  we enjoyed it though and i would go again even though i got a little bit sea sick.  it didn't last long thank goodness and coming into sydney under the bridge was just spectacular.  i saw some dolphins and a beautiful sunrise too.

cruising

i've never been on a cruise, although  i've been on the sydney harbour ferry once, and i'm so excited.  maz and i are going on a very short cruise this week, we have a balcony cabin.  melbourne cruising to sydney.  i must say i'm excited but the stuff up with the cost has been a pain.  i made a huge mistake with the return from sydney but most of the $ have been refunded so it's not too bad.  i'm travelling light with only carry on and can put anything i buy in maz's bag as she has check in luggage which is kind of her.  apparently there's so much to do on board that we won't have time to sleep.
