The week was quite hot, up above +30°C (today it is very chilly though) and we have got the pool going again and have had a few delicious dips. I just love being in water; the weightlessness is magic.
Also magic were the hot springs we discovered on our latest trip. We didn't even know about them so it was really an added bonus. The one in Lightning Ridge is very hot, around +40°C so you feel like your skin is peeling off but after a while it is great. However, you shouldn't stay in too long though; you would probably pass out.

| This was our first experience of the Artesian Bore baths. We went there after dinner, and then home and slept like babies. Sorry about the bad quality of the photo. |
The baths are mainly frequented by Eastern Europeans sitting in large groups, chatting around the pool, especially in the evening (it's open 24/7, and it is free). One of the ladies started talking to me in her language, and I realized I probably looked a bit Eastern European.
I went into Sydney a few days ago for the big Navy Parade. There were 3000 sailors parading through Sydney from the ships moored in the harbour for the Fleet Review. They all looked a little bit the same after a while until the Indonesian Navy came by. They were a happy lot and lifted the sombre atmosphere a little.
After the parade I went to Darling Harbour to see the Tall Ships and I was mesmerized watching a young girl climbing up and un-doing the sail on Little Endeavor. It was worse than a circus act. I hate heights so anything like that makes me break out in a sweat. I couldn't leave until she was safely down again.

| This bridge opens up in the middle and permits the tall ships to sail into Darling Harbour. Hubby does miss the monorail which crossed this bridge and also opened up though. |
Now I must go out and see if my tomato plants have grown since last night, so cheerio for now.
