Cancer Schmancer

We did Hyde Park this morning, just a couple of blocks from the hotel. Walked through it, stopping at the impressive Art Deco Anzac memorial and also briefly stopping to admire the black-headed ibises attacking garbage bins in the park.
Just before lunch we met Claire at the ferry dock and walked over to The Rocks. Did a very thorough walkthrough of the market stalls there, then stopped for noodles. One more block brought us to an art gallery Claire had found on a previous visit -- lots of very good aboriginal art pieces.

We made our way back to the quay where we caught a train to the Darling Harbour area, walking a considerable way, at times with some doubt about our direction. At last we found the Powerhouse Museum where we went through the Lord of the Rings Exhibition -- excellent! By this time we were flagging, so we took a cab back to the hotel for a reviving cuppa.

Claire came with me to the Internet place to catch up on some mail, but she has gone now to catch a bus back to Manly. Tomorrow Chebby is picking us up for breakfast.
