I'm in an architectural paradise. A fascinating variety of deceptive dwellings from 1800s to the present day. each taking up the smallest frontage but most stretching far back, room behind room, as through the years they have been altered and extended without losing the dainty frontage and individuality that makes a stroll down any residential street a delight. I couldn't stop taking photographs. "What you taking Charlie's Bar for?" asked a boy on a bike. "It's interesting" said I. "No it's not, it's normal" said he. Normal is delicate filigree iron work, verandas, balconies, tiled roofs, shutters and exotic vegetation. Normal is quite frankly, amazing.
Wandering & wondering.
ReplyDeleteFinally reached my hotel in Sydney which, thanks to rosy's good judgment isn't the quirky homely place I had envisaged but an immaculate suite with bedroom,sitting room kitchen, two huge TVs, beautiful bathroom and access to indoor pool, gym and health suite.
ReplyDeleteTime now for a pause in the wandering.
