The following morning saw us a jump on a plane to Oz. I’ll get Ed to guest post on the Oz trip as there is a bit of a story to tell there!
Arriving into Sydney rather than jump straight in a cab, we took a train to Circular Quay and then jumped on the wonderful Manly Ferry. What a way to arrive! We got a full view of the Opera House and harbour bridge from the train station and then enjoyed amazing views from the ferry to Manly Wharf.
A quick stop in Manly for brekkie –gluten free bread, smoked salmon and the inevitable vegemite! A world away from the six weeks of phad thai!
Then it was on a bus to see friends Marcus and Liv and their gorgeous kids; Jessica and Olly.
YUM!
Gorgeous Jessica, clearly knows how to pose already

Next day we checked into our hostel in Potts Point in central Syders and this was our base for the next six days. Sydney flew by in catching up with friends and family, amazing food, awesome sights and a lot of fun. It was really nice to be somewhere that felt familiar. It was funny the trains reminded me of mainland European trains, with their double deckers, underground signage was similar to London and then you’d see a bar or area in central Sydney that could have been straight out of New York.
Delicious dinner thanks to Jaume at Jordans, three tiers of fish cooked every way you could imagine!

Pie anyone? Average brekkie when travelling
