Sydney

In a desperate attempt to get FindPenguins to show something realistic on the map, Tony is creating “Footprints” for every step of the way. Some very short.
We have about 24 hours here; staying with Katherine and Geoff at Cammeray. Time for some Sydney touring on Tuesday utilising the (very handy) Senior Opal cards. First stop is the “Alchemy of a Rainforest” special exhibition at the Botanic gardens. As a tourism bonus we use the Metro (brand new suburban rail system to us) which is wonderful. The exhibition is closed. “We have to re-pot many plants”. Still, nice to see the gardens. Then, as we hadn’t yet visited the new Sydney Fish Markets, we went there for a thorough look and to feed Tony his GOOD fish and chips lunch. Success. In another transport first, we had a trip on the Light Rail before relaxing and completing our final packing at home.
Flight leaves at 11pm. Our trip is split into 3 roughly equal parts, stopping at Kuala Lumpur, Muscat then Milan. Let’s see how it works on our ageing bodies.Read more
