Bye Melbourne, hello Sydney

When we got up this morning, we’d thought we’d be picked up at 10 a.m. to get to the airport for a noon flight to Sydney. We were wrong. We had a notification from Qantas that our flight had been cancelled and we were rescheduled to fly out at 4 p.m. It was quite disappointing news because we had a walking tour scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in Sydney and would no longer be able to get to it in time. Further, it meant we had to scramble to alert the driver who was picking us up at 10 as well as rearrange the pick up we had arranged in Sydney. Such is life.

We made the most of it and went for a meandering walk and then headed to the airport. The flight was uneventful. Our hotel in Sydney is in a fabulous location and we can easily walk to The Rocks, the Opera House and the Bridge. We went out for a walk to orient ourselves and have dinner. Explorations in earnest will start tomorrow.Læs mere
