The City of Sydney.

The Grace Hotel which was built in 1929 by the Grace Brothers.
We're having another lovely holiday in the City, this time at the Grace Hotel on the corner of York and King Streets... we sat in the Grace Cafe this morning having breakfast and watching everyone rushing to work... a couple of things we noticed different to London.
1. We only saw one person smoking while they walked, the Forbes Hotel where we had, dinner last night was totally smoke free... Wonderful!
2. Most of the male office workers wear open necked shirts.
3. Most of the males wear a shoulder bag which I imagine carries a lap top, maybe it was the same in London actually.
4. Little or no litter.
5. Friendly... absolutely everybody is friendly and very helpful. It was bad in London but this City is just Happy!
I sat in St Andrews Cathedral for a while listening to a Schools Choir Concert remembering the three years Tomos sang in the Cathedral Choir. There was a similar ridiculous sermon from some special preacher which went on far too long and reminded me why I never go to a Church Service.
One of the Stained Glass windows at St Andrews Cathedral, they've restored the Cathedral and turned it around inside since I was there last.
The beautiful Queen Victoria Building.
This Christmas Tree is four stories high right in the middle of the Queen Victoria Building.
