Onwards and upwards

Arrived at my SYD stopover with a bit of time so I decided to not go and sit in my room or a cafe but to go to the SYD Business Lounge for a coffee and a sit. A bit drizzley outside so I will do a little sightseeing tomorrow morning. Time to reflect on a big couple of weeks - BNE for work, MEL for DEA, DRW for me and now BNE/SYD/SIN.. mind boggling! I am very much on the 'do it while you can' tram! A wet track for my morning run on Mascot -packing wet clothes is not ideal. Found a large building with a covered veranda all round so did circuits (about 20) - bit like a cruise ship!! Had my free brekkie at the hotel and then had a (thankfully) dry walk to Mascot station. Went to Circular Quay for a look at iconic Sydney! Back on the train to International. I was able to check in online so security et al was quick and seamless. I looked briefly at duty free fizz but decided Singapore will be a better option. Qantas First Lounge - aah, my happy place! Great views, great fizz, good food and excellent service -one day K! When the bloke at the desk knew I had a few hours he quickly suggested I have a 45 minute spa session. Despite knowing what K would think - I declined! Had some lunch with some more Champagne Lallier (a first for me - it's very good). Buffalo Mozzarella with Heirloom tomatoes. I loved the flavours but don't get heirloom tomatoes - tough and not really adding anything. The Bao was delicious #recommended. A treat was seeing QF1 arrive at the dock #thequeen. I will upload this shortly as I will be boarding and Qantas hasn't caught up with international internet yet and I will be late into Singapore. Enjoying it all so far! Been upgraded to premium economy - another first so will report on the experience #upperdeckRead more
