We have now said goodbye to our fabulous room at the Medina Grand Hotel in Sydney and are at the airport awaiting our onward flight. Paul cooked a fabulous Shepherd's Pie last night which we ate ravenously as we were both hungry and tired after our long busy day. This morning we say goodbye to Sydney and to Australia. We have enjoyed being in Sydney and have felt very safe and comfortable here. We also like the people a lot. They do not mince their words and are very amusing with their stories and anecdotes. They are straight talkers and say what they mean, but once you understand that, they are a joy to be around. Sydney is the largest city in Australia. It has a 20km radius with over 4 million people living here, with people from 180 different nationalities, all living happily side by side. What an example this is to the rest of the world. Australian fact of the day - In some parts of Australia the earthworms grow up to 12 foot in length and can have a body the same circumference as your wrist. Can you imagine digging one of these up in your garden!!
