sydney, stinky plane

Smooth flight flight from Wagga to Sydney but the pilot lost all credibility by bouncing the plane a few times before getting it on the ground. A quick bus trip to International Terminal and before we knew it we were into the immigration line, but after filling in the Demarkation form we find that it is now automated. You insert your passport into a machine, walk forward, smile (or not) at the camera and the gate opens, and bingo, into the boarding area. No passport stamps here! Found our gate, then wait, wait & wait till an announcement that the plane has a blocked drain and can't be used. So we trudge off to another gate and wait for the replacement plane. Embarked about 1 1/2 hours late but better that than being on a stinky plane!
