I checked out of the Hotel and caught a taxi to the airport. We drove past Duntroon but I didn't even recognise it until I saw the sign "Royal Military College" and I asked the driver "Is that Duntroon???"
He confirmed that it was and I said "I lived there 37 years ago! We were living there when my first daughter was born. I don't even recognise it as the same place!"
We agreed that 'plenty' had changed in 37 years.
The airport was a surprise too! What a beautiful piece of architecture that is!
My flight to Sydney was delayed by an hour, which was a little annoying, but I finally reached the motel on Darling Harbour at about 2.30pm. What a lovely view we have ...
The room is quite small, but it's clean and tidy and has everything that we need.
When The Motivator arrived, she unpacked her suitcase and we decided to go for a walk and find somewhere to have some dinner and a drink or two.
We found a great little place that sold Mediterranean food ...
... and we shared a bottle of wine over a couple of hours before walking it off around the harbour.
We didn't get back to our room until about 10.30pm and I was surprised by how many people were out and about on a Monday night!
So far, it has been a fabulous first few hours in Sydney and we are looking forward to attending the Gift Fair tomorrow. We've both got our outfits all laid out and we will be looking professional and amazing!
It's just ticked past midnight, and The Motivator is in the bed beside mine trying to sleep, so I'd best stop clicking away on this keyboard and give her some peace.
Nite all.
