Journey to New South Wales
Monday 6th
Today is a big day on Saturday Steve invited us to go up in an aeroplane flight around Sydney harbour and surround areas. That morning we drop off the camper van what a pain in the butt the guy at Apollo's said we must empty the toilet tray other wise will cost us $150 AUD but said the camper was ok and no problems so sign back camper to Apollo's with no addition cost.
About 9am Steve picks us up with all baggages and we drive over to banks town aero dome to get on the four man aircraft. But Richard is still get a lot of pain, we decide to sort out a flight to get him home so could see only doctor to get pain sort out and see what cause it.
We all went up in aircraft flight lasted about 1hr 30 mins what a fantastic experience for Patrick and Richard, Steve let Patrick fly the plane for a while some to remember the holiday by. Only cost $140 AUD each very cheap because would cost over $150 AUD to fly around Sydney harbour in a helicopter for 30 mins.
After the flight we back to chatswood to sort a flight for Richard and Patrick and have some lunch. While Kevin was on the phone to Qantas for about an hour, manages to get flight back on Tuesday 7th on QF31 (Not QF301).
After sort out flight Steve took Kevin and Patrick down milson's point take closer picture of the harbour bridge and the opera house and had cup of coffee in café while Richard take a rest a Steve & Karen house.
Steve drop us of a pink house in potts point (Kings Cross) we check in and Richard was packing his and pat bags for there journey back home and mean while Kevin and pat went out for a walk about and had dinner in restaurant called Maggie's and Richard and Patrick went to bed early to get some sleep for the journey home.
Tuesday 7th
The next day pat told that he fall out of the bunk bed about 3 times in the night. Kevin and Patrick went to Sydney fish market that morning first taking the train to town hall then walking down to Darling harbour to catch the monorail train which took us in a big loop around CBD before go to fish market.
Patrick purchase some cooked tiger pawns cost $19.99 per kilo just $10 AUD worth before short walk back to monorail station. Kevin and Patrick eat some while went for the train and had some lunch at town hall food court before head back to the hostel.
We all took bags down stairs to wait until it was time to take airport shuttle bus to airport. Got to airport was there mess-up on fight number ask girl from Qantas on Monday said flight numbers was QF301, got to check in and was told that no seat on plane today or 10th October.
We start worried what has happen after paid to re-book flight back home and Richard needing to get back home. This all cause by not get the confirmation email on Monday and sent us to Qantas help desk and checks on system and found that Richard & Patrick were flying on QF31 flight.
We grab a cup of coffee before saying our goodbyes as Kevin could entry the Security & Customs area because was not flying that day and went back to the pink house. So trip blog has name chanced from "Three men in a bus travelling around Oz" to "One man and his backpack"
