Finally arrived in Sydney on the 20th July after Air China cancelled our flight from Beijing. Apparently there was a cyclone affecting Shanghai making it impossible to land there. Luckily, after very little customer service at the airport, we got put up in a 4 star hotel. All 3 flights of us!
First impressions of Sydney are fantastic. The weather is brilliant. Warm enough for short sleeves but great for walking about. Temperature is in the early 20s. The city has a great buzz and looks amazing from most angles. So far we've done a fair bit of walking about, Darlington Harbour to the Harbour Bridge and opera House. We also went to Palm Beach (Summer Bay) and Manly. Today we visited the Blue Mountains via the Olympic Stadium. It was a brilliant day, perfect weather and a lot of walking. We also took a ride on the steepest train in the world(for 4 minutes)!
