We arrived at Sydney airport at 8:30am, later then expected due to a whole host of problems related to the aircraft just before take-off. Very tired having got very little sleep when compared to our first flight, we continued to custom’s expecting Aussie immigration to be a nightmare due to the incredibly strict rules and reg’s on entering. In turned out immigration was fine, but instead we encountered our first major set back of the year-out. My luggage had been left in KL and it wouldn’t be till tomorrow until it arrived.
Anyways, not thinking too much about it due to the assurances made, Mick and Alyson (Adams aussie relatives) met us at the exit. Sydney’s weather was beautiful, with a temperature around the mid 20’s, clear blue sky and no humidity like that in KL (which came very welcome). Mick and Alyson drove us back to their house the scenic route, and it was on this journey that I could finally appreciate what Adam had been raving about for the past year. The first sight you catch of Harbour Bridge simply takes your breath away.
After arriving at their house; Mick, Adam and I travelled into the city centre by ferry to Circular Quay and went on a wonder round the city. Due to it being labour day (a public holiday celebrating the reduction of the working day from 10hrs to 8hrs), the place was buzzing with everyone soaking up sun and absorbing the surroundings. We walked through the rocks where Mick and I had some lunch in the form of a chicken kebab (nothing like those usually consumed after a night out on the booze) and then continued to darling harbour. We finished our visit at the central station found opposite to the town hall (this is where my grand parents were married) and caught the train back to Rydalmere where Alyson met us with the car to take us home.
