Day1

I think I might be a bit behind the times with writing this, but it's pretty safe to say that Day 1 saw us arrive and also be very jet-lagged!

We landed at Sydney a little after 7 am and after a long but fast moving queue to get us through immigration (take note America!) we were headed into town on our pre-booked van at 8 .30am arriving at the Park Regis City Centre hotel by 9am. Sadly our room was not ready so following a pit stop we headed out and about to discover Sydney!

First stop was a walk around Darling Harbour to find the tourist information centre. A quick Internet and breakfast stop at Starbucks followed, before we managed to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the opera house, Circular Quay and the first look at the Botanical gardens.

We walked back to the hotel and at 1.30 could finally check in and have much needed washes after close to 30 hours in smelly clothes! Some lunch and a slightly too long sleep next, then we headed back to Darling harbour for a long walk then stopping in at The Blackbird restaurant for a beer and a beef burger. Carlton Draught was my poison and it was very nice too.

Back to the hotel and bed by 9.45pm, although Friday nights in Sydney are quite noisy so wasn't the greatest nights sleep ever!

Ho hum!

Off to the Opera house for a tour, Manly, Lunar Park, cross the bridge on Day 2!
