I have so much more to tell you all but quickly, before I do here are the rest of my stories and pics from our lovely (but too quick) stay in Sydney.
Firstly there is the arriving in Sydney story. Simon and I were lucky to get the seats we requested with extra leg room on an exit row... so nice to be able to stretch out. We left home after urgently packing at around 9.30 and headed for the airport to make our 12.01am flight. ( not a very respectable time was it). Well the plane ended up leaving at 1.30am ( so even worse for work weary people like us). Although it was technically the middle of the night I found it near impossible to sleep. I watched numerous films including "trying" to watch Spiderman unsuccessfully.

At this point I actually fell asleep. With Simon on one side, and a very tall lanky English man in search of a world of adventures on the other, I ended up with a very stiff neck. Simon lying on one shoulder and my fear of accidentally leaning on said poor English lad being the cause.

We arrived early the next morning. We had supposed to be in at 9am but now it was closer to 11.
A quick breakfast in Bondi, some urgent shopping and chores in Paddo and off to visit the family.
Here are our first Sydney images.
