Sydney Day 1

Back in the southern hemisphere for the first time in a long time.

2 hours sleep, short flight, and a seat kicker.

We landed early but got stuck on the runway with no gate available. Eventually we made it off the plane and through immigration. Bag collection and customs was a faff, worse than Auckland but we got through and met Catherine.

We drove to Claire and Glen’s house at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. After a cuppa we went to the pub for lunch. I had Barramundi which was tasty.

We went back to the house and got changed and drove to the National Park and went for a few walks.

We then drove to a different place to look for Lyre birds but there weren’t any.

We had risotto and wine for dinner and Buster the dog got to come to bed with us.Read more
