Sydney

Sydney was an alright place, a bit cheaper than NZ and with a heavy Asian influence, so with really good food! We stayed in the centre of town and spent two days trying to sort out our next few flight dates with Qantas (less said about that the better!). When that was sorted we bought a replacement compact digital camera (ouch!) and went out to see the sights. We went up the tower to get the 360 degree view of Sydney, and it was well worth doing, v impressive from that high up. Though obviously I would not go too near the glass. Loooooong way down.

We went to the Circular Quay bit to see the Opera House (pointy) and Sydney Harbour Bridge (huge), but I vetoed John's 'Skywalk,' idea, which involves clambering all over thing.

Overall verdict on Sydney: we passed through with no regrets.
