It’s 5:30 in the morning, its dark, we’ve been up for hours and we’re sitting in the airport waiting for the gates to open for Singapore Airlines flight SQ220.
‘Too much to see, too little time’ hasn’t really mean’t much before this trip, a week anywhere isn’t enough.
We wanted to see something at Opera House but with nothing on we went to see ‘Hot Fuzz’ at the cinema, making us a little homesick for Somerset. It seemed that we were the only people laughing at the local jokes, I had to tell the person sat next to me Somerfield really is like that! Yesterday we went to the Olympic Park for lunch and wandered about but couldn’t help feel it was a little lifeless with no sporting events on, just us tourists. The day before, for one of the first times on our trip, we split up to get the most out of the day. Becky went off to see the Koalas at the Zoo, and I went around the Gallerys and Museums.
Sydneys an amazing place everyone should visit.
I’m going off for a nap.
A simple waterproof sack that we’ve used to put our important items in, keeping it dry while kayak touring and hiking. What can we say, very durable and has been submerged too many times. Invaluable.
After lots of searching, we found this MP3 player on amazon for about 150 quid, which has turned out to be invaluble and rather robust!
We left the UK with 80 gig of music, video, photos of friends and family, digital copies of our passports, tickets and important documents all cleverly encrypted away from prying eyes. It comes with a ‘USB Host lead’ which means, when our digital cameras full, we can dump the photos on the device and start taking more, all without the need of searching for a computer.
Due to the nature of how we’ve been travelling, it’s had a hard life, even getting soaked through (invest in a waterproof case) and although I’m sure the warranties now void, the metal case scratched and dented, it’s still going strong (touch wood)
Its been great, entertaining us on wet evenings and listening to music in the car when radio stations can’t be found.
