Well, the adventure begins.
After the Grandparents day at Luke’s school we left Canberra at about 1pm and drove to Sydney.
We checked in at our hotel, Formule 1 at Sydney Airport and in the rain we filled the car for the Friday rental return and headed off to get something for tea. We drove towards Redfern and found a great little pizza place, The Red Star.
Looking out our window we have a vista of high cholesterol, high fat take away establishments. Krispy Kreme and McDonalds beckons us to enjoy their ‘healthy” repasts.
We managed to have a coffee and donut at KK prior to heading back to the hotel. Earlier in the day we visited Maccas for a tea. A sign of things to come as we purchased 2 teas and, true to the American versions of tea, the “hot” water wasn’t and the warm mixture was a total failure. We have had this in previous visits to the states, so we will have to be more choosey.
Speaking of Krispy, we had a PA announcement this morning in the hotel that the fire evacuation alarm was a false alarm. This turned out to be quite fortunate as we didn't hear it in the first place - Krispy indeed!
On a positive note we can also see out the window, all the Gulfstream private jets parked across the road. I counted 7 plus other private airworthy gin palaces and a few of Rex’s Saabs and the B200 air ambulance.
We are now checked in and are in the Qantas Club lounge - The adventure continues!!
