So Long Sydney

Well, another last day. This evening we are leaving Sydney, and of course Australia. We have had a marvellous time here. We expected the weather to be glorious, which it was, and the food sensational, which it also was. However, what we didn't expect was the warmth and humour of the people. They have really made our trip. In Melbourne and Port Douglas particularly, we met dozens of people along the way, who made us really feel at home. Sydney is more like London, but a great place to visit nonetheless. Even now, I still cannot believe we have seen the Harbour Bridge and Opera House for real. Maybe one day we will be able to return so Ross can climb the bridge.We leave here with many happy memories, and for Ross, the world's most unusual sun tan. Travellers' Tip: If you use a spray sun tan lotion, you must still rub it in. Otherwise you are left with a strange blotchy effect, a bit like the Turin shroud. See picture below....

Is it me, or can you see a map of Australia in white across Ross' stomach?

Remember to tune in soon as we say "Aloha" to Hawaii. We'll be crossing the International Dateline, so see you on Wednesday, 34th Mayvember.
