Cancer Schmancer

Claire headed off early for her last goodbyes at the zoo and Mom and I went out much more slowly to spend our last day at The Rocks, the historic area near the harbour. We caught a bus, as usual, in overcast cool weather, threatening rain. Got to Circular Quay in about 10 minutes and walked around from there, with occasional stops to rest and enjoy the people and old buildings. We found the New South Wales records office, so went in to inquire about our ancestor who fought for Australia at Gallipoli. Not much luck, but a helpful lead on how I can continue the search online. Meandering back through the brick walkways, we found a cafe for our last fish and chips (plus a healthy salad!). On the way back to the quay, we went up to a farewell balcony designed for people waving off those on passenger liners -- great views of the harbour! Within minutes, we found a bus to bring us back here to the Internet place, just around the corner from our hotel. In spite of how it looked this morning, there was no rain all day. We must leave early tomorrow morning for the airport, so this really is the end of a superb vacation.
