Sydney

Hi everyone.

Yesterday we arrived in Sydney. We started our visit with a walk to Darling Harbour and then a delicious dinner at a seafood restaurant. I had Barramundi and Paul had a whole Snapper (oh yeah - and a bottle of white wine). After dinner we walked down to Chinatown, taking our time to enjoy the night lights of sydney town, and then we caught the monorail (Paul doing his best Simpson's inpersonation) back to our hotel and it's bar for a night cap.

This morning we had to take the campervan to the place it was hired from because a whole lot of stuff was missing when we picked it up - they were really good about it and wanted to change the tyres and replace the oil so that we had a safe trip. So we left it with them and caught the train back into the city and spent the day exploring Circular Quay, the Opera House and Tthe Rocks. Paul nagged me to go on a jetboat on the harbour, but when we got there they had cancelled the ride we were going to take because a whole bunch of other people cancelled their bookings. Phew!

So we hopped back on the train so we could pick upthe van, and then spent a few hours walking the streets and seeing the sights of the shopping district ... so far I have ONLY bought ONE pair of shoes!!!!

Tonight we are a going to have a pub meal and then another wander to see the night lights of Syndey, before heading off tomorrow for God knows where...
