Back to Sydney



The purple blossoms of the jacaranda trees made Brisbane a beautiful sight. They were everywhere!


We couldn't believe the day had arrived that would start the end of our trip! On Tuesday, Oct. 30, we woke up to sunshine and drove to the Brisbane airport to return the rental car and catch our flight to Sydney. Once we arrived, the airport shuttle took forever before it even left the domestic terminal, then it went to the international terminal, and when every seat in the bus was full, began taking us to hotels all over the Darling Harbour/the Rocks/Sydney area, with our hotel being the final one! Good news at check-in, we were upgraded to the executive level which meant free drinks and appetizers. The flat ones insisted we go to the lounge even before our luggage was brought up to our room! They have been so agreeable this whole trip that we went along with their suggestion and took a little while to relax before heading out for an evening walk.


On our last night in Australia, Flat Mary Ann & Flat John enjoy a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from the executive lounge

Flat Mary Ann and I agree that next time in Sydney, we'll make reservations for the High Tea at the Opera House
