G’day from Sydney
Final day of our trip today and we’re looking forward to being home in a few hours. At the moment I’m on an internet kiosk in the lobby of our hotel in Sydney whilst waiting for a taxi to come and take us to the airport. We arrived here last night after a 10 hour flight from Honolulu and spent the morning having a quick look around Sydney. Caught a ferry from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay, took the obligatory Opera House and Harbour Bridge Photos, walked into the city, relaxed in Hyde Park, browsed the Queen Victoria Building shops, and then caught the monorail back to Paddy’s Market’s which are directly across from our hotel. A very rushed day in Sydney, but not a bad one. The weather here is absolutely perfect although I’m afraid the forecast for home in Perth doesn’t look so pleasant.
The few days we had in Hawaii were great. It’s such a beautiful place that I look forward to visiting again. The first day we spent in Waikiki, hanging around town and then on the beach. The next day we took a drive to the North Shore, had a swim and snorkel in Waimea Bay and then drove clockwise around the island of Oahu back to our hotel in Waikiki. Certainly it was one of the more scenic drives I’ve ever had – so many beautiful beaches and spectacular mountains. On the third day we went to see the memorial at Pearl Harbour but the wait was over an hour and the kids were too tired to endure it, so we ended up going into Downtown Honolulu for a while and then spent the afternoon swimming before a wonderful dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, as recommended by my mum.
Anyway our taxi should be here in a minute so I’d better go. Next time I update it will be from home :0)
