    Sydney Airport

    December 25, 2016 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today was another early wake up in order to get to the airport the suggested three hours early. Unfortunately, when we got there Jetstar hadn't opened so we were forced to wait forty minutes to get my boarding pass and my bag checked. Once that was done I had to say goodbye to William before walking through security. After getting a little lost I found my gate and waited. While I was waiting a Brit sat down next to me and we got to talking. His name is Chris and we ended up being in the same row and seeing as there was barely anyone on the plane we got to sit next to each other. Besides not having any food or drink the flight was quite pleasurable. There were lots of places to lay down across three seats and some movies to choose from. Chris and I even got into a sudoku battle. Once we landed we headed to the baggage claim which took almost an hour for them to send them all down. Once we got all our bags we headed to the train station got some opal cards and headed to our hostels. We were only about .5 miles away which made it easy to figure out the stops. After settling down and exploring my hostel me and Chris met up again and we took the train down to The Rocks. We got a great view of the opera house before climbing up on the bridge to get a better one. We ended up going all the way across the bridge to catch the train back. Out of desperation for food we quickly sat down at a Thai place before heading back to my hostel and quickly falling asleep.Read more
