Got to the airport and after a brief explore, we went off in search of noodles!
On our way we saw the 'honeymoon dessert' stand - very apt!
The flight to Sydney from Singapore was very pleasant and uneventful. 7.5 hours of relative peace, overnight.
Sydney is another 3 hours ahead so, with the 8 from Singapore, that put us 11 hours ahead of the UK.
The last
few times I've flown long haul, I've taken the opportunity to watch a
classic movie that I've not seen before. So, last time I went to NY
for work, I watched 'Some like it hot' and this time on the Sydney
flight, I watched 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' – spectacular
acting from Maggie Smith – I think she got an Oscar for it.
We arrived in Sydney
and got through customs in record time – under an hour from landing
to being in the car with Sarah and Steve.
Where did we go to
first – Vic's meats – a wholesale meat seller who sells to the
retail trade on a Saturday morning. They sell the most AMAZING steak,
and at about 60% of the retail price.
So then it was back
home to Mosman– where we met up with Alan – Steve's dad who we
met on holiday in Vass last year. Then, on to one of the local cafes
for a fantastic Sydney breakfast.
Next was back in to town on the ferry, one of my really fave things!!
