Mother's day in Sydney

Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day. My highlight of the day was the awesome breakfast in bed consisting of a honey sandwich and glas of cold water served by my kids at 7 a.m.  Very jummy and a good way to start the day.

It's hard to ignore Mother's Day in Sydney. It seems to be a much bigger event here than in Holland. 

To 'celebrate' we took a ferry trip to Watsons Bay to spend the afternoon there. On our way to the ferry at Circular Quay we passed a few old buildings. Before living here I never realized how historic the city really is. The highrise modern buildings dominate the city but you also see many old buildings like the ones below: 

Watsons bay has a great playground for the kids and from the park you have wonderful view on the city in the distance. We were not the only ones to go to Watsons Bay. It turned out to be a very popular spot for a Mother's Day picnic. This is the queue in front of Doyles Fishermans Wharf on Sunday at 2 p.m. I don't know how long these people had to wait for their take away fish and chips but I would not be surprised if it was over an hour. A nice way to spend Mother's Day..
