Day 56
Went down to Long Reef Aquatic Reserve for brunch with Justin this morning. We ate in the golf club overlooking the beach.

We then walked along the beach around towards Collaroy, scene of all that devastation earlier in June.

It was obvious lookin over at Collaroy beach that a lot of the renovation has begun but there's loads more to do.

On the way back we spotted a pod of dolphins just off the beach
Went back to the house and I got ready to go into the city to meet Amy. I caught Manly ferry to circular quay and met Amy in Buckleys for a quick drink before strolling down to the Opera House.

We had a look around the Opera House surrounds as we had a bit of time to spare before our pre-opera meal. The opera we were going to see was Carmen, by Bizet.

We then made our way to the Aria restaurant for our meal and we had a great table, overlooking Circular Quay where we could see the hordes walking around glued to their phones pursuing that elusive Pokemon.

The Opera was really good and our seats were in a great position with nobody in front of us. We had perfect viewing positions to take in all the sounds, glamour and colours of the performance.
