Sydney, here we are

After a 19 hour flight with a one hour break in-between, myself and Aral made it here to Sydney almost in one piece. We were completley knackered due to lack of sleep on the first leg of the flight, which brought us into Singapore. We decided it might be a good idea to choose our seats online, so we could ensure we sat together, we chose the only two seats that were left… the ones at the very back, seemed like a good idea at the time.

Doh… First things first, they were right next to the three washrooms on the plane, secondly the back row has two emergency exits with large windows with shutters on. Every single person that went to the washroom during the night opened the shutter to look at a black sky…. letting all the light in and waking me up, which had me very aggravated. Fortuneatley the second leg of the flight i slept for near enough eight hours on and off. Still my body clock is now all over the place.

We met Grant at the airport when we arrived and then headed over to our three bedroom apartment in the city. I was the lucky one that happened to work into the bedroom with the en-suite bathroom and television, so i parked my bags and that was that he he…. Aral was fuming. Anyways, we decided to spend the day exploring and so we caught the shuttle from outside our apartment into darling harbour and then caught the speedboat over to circular quays, where we ate ice-cream (lovely weather over here right now) from there we took the ferry over to Manly, were we could see the Sydney Opera House etc… lots of good photo ops. We perved over people on the beach as we were on our way to the aquarium were we watched a show about deadly animals. Then we explored the aquarium and its many tanks and animals for a good couple of hours. We headed back on the boat and got a good spot on the front on the top level, lots more good photo ops.

When we got back to circular quays we decided to walk back to the apartment from there, seemed like a good idea at the time, one hour later we got back, after walking around in circles a couple of times and so on. We are all fairly toasted (red) after only one day in the sun. Weve just been for a swim and in the spa and now were gonna grab a bite to eat after checking our mail. Were now waiting for Peter Hall to get here tonight and the rest of the gang tommorow and onwards. Photos are on their way… got alot of good shots. Thats me done for the night, im exhausted.
