Thursday 15th March
Simon and I flew to Sydney yesterday. The hotel is lovely and we have the most amazing view of Darling Harbour. We spend the day wandering around getting to know the place we'll come back and work in. You see we had a big discussion in Singapore about our itinerary and have decided to change things around a little bit, so we'll visit New Zealand now in summer/autumn, rather than in 4 months time in the middle of their winter. So we fly out to Christchurch in two days.
We go across to Manly beach on the ferry and get some spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Then we come back to Darling Harbour and wander around the botanical gardens and the aquarium before eating a lovely dinner on the quayside.
Friday 16th March
Another day sight seeing as we head up to the observatory and down underneath Harbour Bridge, around the quay area, to Hyde Park and then to the wildlife centre which was full of creepy crawlies and snakes that are all native to Australia - eeek! We discuss climbing the Harbour Bridge and decide that we'll pay for each other to climb it around our birthdays (which are only two days apart).
