Oz Report – Part 21 – The Journey Home

elbeno, 15 September, 200715 September, 2007

Monday.

We had no troubles getting to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Sydney’s tunnel system once again proved useful. After dropping off the hire car, we checked in, and this time we were prepared to make sure our car seat was smoothly approved. The checkin agent remarked that we were very organised for people travelling with small children (seeing that we only had 2 carryons).

The airport was of course the ideal place to shop for any souvenirs which we felt we lacked, and we picked up some zip-up tops and a t-shirt, with a few other knick-knacks. The flight itself was OK, although mini-Elbeno didn’t sleep as much as he had on the way out. I watched a few of the films on offer although missed the end of Ocean’s Thirteen.

Mini-Elbeno also enjoyed his first ice lolly to himself. This might be why he didn’t sleep so much!

The first day: After 14 hours, the sun caught up with us and we landed in Sydney a few minutes before sunrise. A SE wind meant a NW approach for our 747-400, which afforded us a lovely pre-dawn view of the downtown area. Arriving at the hotel at about 7.30am,…

Wednesday. I had one goal for today: by hook or by crook, I was going to see an echidna. This was the only well-known Australian animal I hadn’t yet seen, since they didn’t have one at Taronga Zoo, and it looked like Melbourne Zoo was going to be my last…
