Finally arrived in Sydney!
After a not uneventful trip we managed to get to Sydney. This is the first time I have experienced any problems, but it made our trip even more interesting!
We left Copenhagen as planned on Sunday October 3rd, and after a short stop in Bangkok, we flew to Singapore. When checking in, there appeared to be some problems, first with my visa, but it turned out that it was our seating on the Qantas flight to Sydney. Overbooked! For the first time in my life, I tried to be put off a plane. We were rebooked on British Airways one hour later, no panik - until we reached the gate. The plane was delayed, there was a mechanical problem........we waited for 3 hours believing that it would actually fly.....then we were all transported to a hotel in Singapore - the Waterfront! No complaints, it was a 5-star hotel, and we lived like kings & queens. Next day, after a city tour of Singapore, free meals and 2 visits to the pool, we got a flight to Sydney. Our bags didn't make it, at that point of time (Wednesday noon) I had not seen my luggage since check in in Copenhagen. However, real globetrotters are not affected by this, David picked us up, we went shopping and same evening, we could pick up the luggage in the airport.
So far so good!
Today (Thursday) me and the boys have been to Sydney, we have visited the aquarium, which they loved, we spent a long time at Darling Harbour and shopped at the Paddy markets where everything is so cheap.
Tomorrow, we will visit a koala sanctuary, where they can feed kangaroos, pet wombats and koalas and dingos.
As you can see from the pictures (click on gallery) the weather is nice. Singapore was hot, Sydney is warm (25 dg) - it is a nice change from the Danish weather.
The boys have turned out to be genuine globetrotters, they have behaved much better than expected, even when Felix got sick on the plane just before reaching Bangkok, he never compalined, he just boarded the plane again. They have coped well with the time difference, they enjoy all the new impressions and adapt immediatly to new places and people.
All for now, will give an update over the weekend, where we will spend some time in the Blue Mountains.
