Day 2, Evening


Camera went flat while we were waiting for train back to city so no photos. Not that much happened, because we were all tired and sore.

Back in the city, I sent sister off in the general direction of burger/takeaway places and went to find the T2 shop. Their website said Bourke St and Little Collins St, which was a bit confusing, but turned out to be a shopping centre that had it's main entrance on Bourke St but the shop I wanted was on Little Collins. Being just a block and a half up from the hotel, this would have been good if I hadn't walked all the way down to find it and then had to back track up three blocks to find something to eat. Some spicy Thai stuff that was nice but there was no way I could eat it all.

Back at the hotel, sister and kids had obviously found the burger place and returned safely. Which was good. So we settled in for the night (except where I ducked down in fluffy socks and track pants to post postcard in hotel foyer, didn't think I made the pickup time but 3 days later it was delivered to the address in a village in the north of England. 3 days?) and that should have been it.

But we wanted to head down to the river to catch the light show. Fortunately we had our tram tickets because we didn't need to walk any further (hurt).

Haven't we been here before?

Day 3, Home


Thursday morning we had to be done in the hotel foyer, packed and ready to go, at 5 minutes to 6. Yeah, that's what I thought. The hotel shuttle bus picked us up form there, dropped us at the Skybus depot at Southern Cross station and we were taken out to the airport. Exciting, I know.

At the airport, we went to check-in at Qantas but we were booked on JetStar. Oh well.

That's a JetStar plane, but not ours.
