Sunday sounds pretty clear to me so far. Friday is Anzac Day - a national holiday, so that is a long weekend and not sure if Joh has something organised out of town, but should be fine.

How about you choose from some of the following?
www.summitrestaurant.com.au
www.starcity.com.au/dir013/internetpublishing.nsf/content/intro
www.anahotel.com.au/restbars.php
OR you might want to prefer younger crowd at
www.icebergs.com.au
www.hotelbondi.com.au/home.html
So, which one do you like? Maybe you have your own ideas from previous visits?

OK ... will run this past Joh today to see how she is placed Sunday. I have your new Enertainment Book here Spider, so to save mail costs can drop that off then. Those '25% off' UA coupons in there look LUVVERRLLY.
Also I suggest we might use one or 2 of those dining coupons, as there are a million nice places in town that are part of that deal. Nearly all of them are good for a free main course, so for 4 diners it makes very good sense. I can't picture B Watson at the Hotel Bondi somehow.

I wonder, why? Impaired imagination?BTW, thanks for the Entertainment Book. I registered my card today, so it should be OK for the weekend.

The Unkai in the ANA also is 25% off (max $40) and does seem to be open Sunday evenings. This little black duck will be drinking Asahi and not sake whichever we choose.
Joh and I took Rudi up for drinks to the top floor panoramic bar of the ANA, and it really has one of the best views in Sydney up there, as it is built on a hill anyway. A 'must-do' if you have not been up there.

OK ..... Joh and I are both set for Sunday early evening, around 6pm. Assuming B Watson is staying at the Observatory Hotel down in the Rocks, I propose we meet there in the library bar at 6pm, and have a round of beers in those amazing tall glasses, charge it all to his room and head off from here for something to eat?
Anyone else around at that time Sunday apart from B Watson and Spider?
