We're Off!

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” – Susan Heller Anderson
The last couple of trips were tours. So easy.
This time, we (mostly Ursula) made some bookings:
9 various accommodations
8 flights
7 stays with friends/relatives
5 trains
2 ferries
2 hire cars
1 coastal cruise
1 minicab
We had a huge list of pre-departure tasks. With one thing and another we had to whittle it down. Gather what we need to take. Put it in the suitcases.
Sai (from Uber – lovely guy) took us to Launceston airport. In Sydney, our new Opal cards took us to St Leonards where Geoff met us and took us to his and Kathryn’s home.
Next day was relaxing in Sydney featuring early morning walk (for Tony and Geoff) and a ferry trip to Watsons bay for lunch and a very scenic cliff walk past The Gap.
On Tuesday after a lovely breakfast, Geoff took us to the airport.
The BA flight was 8 hours to Singapore. Short stopover. After exiting the plane we had about 15 minutes before re-boarding. Then 13.5 hours to London. We had no muscular or foot problems, possibly thanks to a friend’s ‘walking exercises’ which we assiduously performed during the flight. Also the Boeing 787 has better atmosphere: more humidity or something; and better sound insulation.Leer más
