Arriving on a jet plane

We said our fond farewells to New Zealand and jetted off, courtesy of Emirates, to Sydney, Australia. After much Googling, we opted for seats on the left side of the plane, hoping for a view of Sydney Harbour on the way in. We were not disappointed! We had an amazing view of the city as we descended - saw the harbour, bridge and opera house all very clearly. It was particularly impressive for me, having never been to Australia before. Laura has been twice before but was still impressed by the view. On the other hand, Solana was totally unimpressed, continuing instead to be glued to "Paw Patrol" on the in-flight entertainment system! Happily our 5 bottles of NZ wine survived the journey intact, though our shampoo didn't quite! Our snack bag made it through the tight Aus biosecurity checks successfully though. We look forward to exploring the city tomorrow.Read more
