WE ARE IN SYDNEY.

We had a lovely time at the Qantas Club having champagne.   We hopped into our tiny plane and flew to Sydney –land of pouring rain. We arrived to torrential rain and did get quiet wet as we walked across the tarmac.

Before leaving home, many people warned us….don’t get eaten by a lion, don’t get eaten by a hippo, watch out for crocs.  Sage advise…….but nearly unnecessary.

We waited in queue for a taxi and were allocated one.  We hopped in and told him where we wanted to go.  It was down hill from there.  We hadn’t even done up our seatbelts when the driver through the car into gear and took off at Mac 7. It took a full 90 seconds before Raina spoke to him sternly and asked him to drive safely and to not try to kill us just because he had the shits with a small fare.  At least he maned by enough to  mumble back that yes he did have the shits.

$31, two almost crashes and many skids later, we arrived at the hotel.

We are taking the shuttle bus back to the airport in the morning!!!!

Lovely uneventful trip to the airport.  Must love the Qantas club with great food and drinks, space, computers etc.

We are travelling Premium Economy  - so bring it on!!!
