It was so much fun to meet you all. We then extended our Cafe Walk in Sydney to see the Wonderful Vivid Lights, Music and Ideas show in Sydney. We also had another excellent Live Streaming event with Samson Rohan, Martins, Magbagbeola, Adebambo and Dickson. Also with Briggs and Justine from Sydney, Thomas E from Umina on the Central Coast of New South Wales as well.

To start the day I had sent messages to welcome all members to let them know my number, so no one would get lost. It is such an excellent feature for all a organisers to keep in touch with all your guests on this superb event.
Thomas called me to let me know he was on his way. It was perfect timing. With our second of three, I sent messages to all on the Google Maps Local Guides WW Cafe walk Sydney that we will start at the Calyx , then make our way to the Botanical Gardens Cafe second. Then if we had time to the Museum of Sydney then The Cafe Sydney.
*Here is the Google My Maps Plan
So first we went to The Calyx Cafe. It is amazing circular set up with a huge white rotunda set up out front with a pond and trees. I then the cafe with film/movie walls in centre with a massive live wall display in the back area (The largest live wall in the Southern hemisphere).
There is a sensational display called “Pollination” all around the Botanical Gardens that is highlighted in the Calyx. The walls and floral exhibitions are magnificent. A special home honey give in the middle. Bees hanging from the ceiling. Also there are movies all about the treasure of honey bees, how important pollination is, and how many endangered species will be lost when there are no bees. The cost to our environment will be astronomical. The movies were all talking of how preservation is of key importance.
The cafe was lovely with exquisite cake trays. All looked yummy. We decided to make our way to the Botanical Gardens Cafe next.
At the Botanical Gardens I saw on my messages from @OSAMA that it was Briggs birthday (A day early) So we had big hugs and strawberry cake to celebrate anyway.
It was a pleasurable cafe with a soft cool breeze blowing through wired walls, so it was very airy. It was large and welcoming. There was great background music to give a very soothing ambience. The staff were friendly, with fast service. We were there a while until our first Live stream came through. It was excellent to connect with Japan, Australia, Nigeria and Nepal.
After our online Meetup YT Livestreaming we walked across to the Museum. We had added on the Callyx to make sure to see the information on the Pollination display, and check out that cafe too. So we had been having such a great time at the Botanical gardens that the Museum was closed by the time we got there. We had also added on the Vivid, Lights, Sound and Music display for Briggs birthday. So we agreed that we changed the order of the day to fit it all in.
Next we talked of the very Australian “Gumnuts babies” display at the Customs house. We had had that in the Google My Maps plan so we went to the spectacular “Sydney Cafe” on the top floor. The views are breathtaking, just amazing from up there and we got a great start to the Vivid Lights, Sound and Music event. Plus Briggs and Thomas got some cocktails and savoury food. While I had a delicious cider.
The Sydney Cafe is an incredible cafe and restaurant with a splendorous bar as well. Briggs noticed and pointed out that there are city names from all around the world carved and set all around the place. We all had a lovely time, with outstanding , very attractive service from all the friendly kind staff.
The Sydney Cafe on top of Customs house was an enjoyable success for us al. It also had mobile phone chargers, which we all needed to charge up for a big night ahead at the Vivid display. With the second YouTube Live Streaming Meetup with the Guys and Ladies in Nigeria like @HelloSamsonR , and @Specobelle , @dickson
all there enjoying the fun.
We could not hear them well because of all the noise of the huge crowds at Vivid Sydney, but it was excellent to Connect with them at their Local Guides Connect YT Live Stream via Hangouts.
It was such a great night. We walked to the Sydney Opera House and got some great pictures of the lights dancing across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, lighting up the sky and buildings. Painting the city with stunning colours. Everywhere all around Sydney and the world happy people sharing the fun.
To finish a fun eventful day of Cafe tasting, Google Maps Local Guides WW photo walk fun we went to the famous City Extra on the Wharf at Circular Quay. Briggs had a yummy Schnitzel with Pancakes for dessert. Thanks had Chicken and finished his long day/night adventure with a huge very Aussie Pavlova covered in cream and scrumptious fruit with passionfruit and strawberries winning the night!
Best wishes
Love and friendship always
Justine
