This morning we were a little slow after enjoying French champagne and NZ Sav Blanc.
The food was great and we had a very enjoyable evening but we nearly didn't get into the base. There had been a guard change just before we arrived. Those who arrived before us were told to drive straight in. We were asked for our ID cards and when we couldn't produce them we were denied access. A sergeant was called who could read the visitors log and he proceeded to tick off our names. Andrew was on the list and Geoffrey and eventually Robert James but no Sandra. Andrew suggested to the Sergeant that we should go in and leave Sandra outside. That seemed to tickle his funny bone and he decided to tick a name that started with S. In we went but we were a little worried that Suhdra, one of the guests of honour, had been ticked off and that he might not get in. Happily he was already in.
This is the new Opera House which began construction the last time we were here. It is enormous.
Today we went for a drive to see the things that might have changed while we were away. Along the way we saw vast changes to the suburbs but some things like this gateway museum were unchanged.
Just another decoration to the freeway. By the way, we had Aussie steak for dinner tonight with an Aussie red.
