Tony of course got held up through security – there's always one of us! The flight however was pretty much trouble free which was great. Landed in Sydney just before 6 pm. We went straight down to the train station and managed to get one pretty quickly. The train delivered us straight to circular Quay! The walk from the train station was incredibly beautiful - it was dark so the Harbor Bridge was alight and so spectacular.
In this past week I second guessed my original accomodation booking, and instead booked one that was much nicer. Upgraded from 2.5 stars and no lift, to a 5 star with lifts and all the fantastic trimmings of a luxury hotel. So glad we did. This time is was the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, and despite walking in the wrong direction it really only took 10 minutes to walk to the hotel. One thing Id forgotten about Sydney is that its really hilly. It came right back to me as soon as we started to push the suitcases up the hill.
The hotel was a different kind of 5 star. It was very Victorian décor and tres fancy. There was an opera performance in the lobby as we arrived. We went to our room on the 8th floor and then Nate and I walked back down hill to get dinner. I managed to find fish and chips ( which was pretty terrible) and also Hungry Jacks.
Looking forward to tomorrow so much. Ive been planning this trip for so long its even hard to believe that its nearly here. We can see part of the harbour from here so Im hoping to see the ship first thing in the morning!!
