Too busy travelling to blog
I have been in Australia 6 days now, and I really have been too busy to blog! I have taken a great number of photos though, so perhaps I will be able to provide a photo-based retrospective, instead of the running commentary of my last trip.
Anyway, the story so far is that Sydney was just how I remembered it: gorgeously beautiful vistas, excellent coffee, and full of restaurants serving tasty food that was at the same time both comfortingly familiar and slightly different from “the usual” fare. I had forgotten how huge Sydney is though, but since this was my second visit I felt much more able to take life at an easy pace and only revisit those sights I felt warranted a second visit—although there are still too many highlights to list here!
One thing that definitely made this visit more enjoyable was that the flights we took (leaving the UK in the evening and arriving first thing in the morning) were a lot more palatable than departing in the morning and arriving in the evening which left my body clock about 12 hours out of sync with reality. In theory we “lost” a whole day to flying, but it did mean we spent more time sleeping on the very boring plane journey, and were able to start enjoying our holiday as soon as we arrived!

Looking forward to seeing all the photos and hearing what you’ve been up to!
Arriving in the morning is fine if you’ve managed to sleep on the plane… If you’ve only been dozing then the prospect of arriving at 5am with a *whole day* before you can sensibly go to sleep is not so fun
Fortunately I can sleep on planes…
Enjoy the last week!
