Sydney
(backposting) Arrived at 0700, and after a rather long trip through immigration, customs and the rest, made it to the rather nice hotel. Quick shave, shower and change, and then out to do some shopping. Needed a variety of necessities, including:- some washing powder for handwashing (cheaper than the hotel laundry service!)
- some shoes (I'd not bought any light, informal shoes, but managed to buy two pairs for around £12)
- some suncream
- a phone (pre-paid: much cheaper than using my UK one over here).
Later, I came back to the hotel and phoned home. Lovely to speak to Moo and the girls, all of whom seemed to be on fine fettle. Checked email, popped to a pub round the corner for a few pints and food, and then crashed in bed around 1900-1930.
