G'day from Oz

Well after a couple of long flights finally made it to the other side of the world. Currently holding on by my fingernails to stop me falling off.
Completely uneventful travel out here, apart from the torrential rain on the way to Heathrow, wow didn't it come down, and yet still there are loads who forget to turn their lights on while driving through it.
Had a nice lunch before the flight a chicken burger and a pint, as you do. Then the first flight to Dubai was off and slightly delayed. Hey ho, we left an hour late, but made up time on the way, so landed in Dubai 20 mins later than scheduled.
The transfer was fun, had to go up and down in a couple of lifts and then a train to go to the departure gate. Not so well signed that we didn't go up and down in the same lift a couple of times first.
Finally we were on our way, for the incredibly long section.

Watched 2 films during the first flight, Paddington 2 and The Shape of Water, a strange but haunting film, a bit fairytale like, with a few bits that just left you scratching your head going WTF! And only watched one film on the 2nd part of the journey in between lots of eating and napping. They certainly did feed you well. The film I chose to watch was 3 billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri. I thought it was one of the most brilliant films I have seen in a long time, very moving and funny in places at the same time.

Anyway finally got to Sydney and was met by Sue, who with Darren and little Jos are kindly putting up with me for a few days with a remit to show me the sights. Well obviously there are a couple that will be essential tourist bits, but I know they'll have places they like to go that are less touristy and probably much nicer for it.

With the 10 hour time difference at the moment (changes this Sunday) I'm not sure if I'm early for bed at 15.30 UK time or late for bed at 01.30 Sydney time.
I'll let you know in the morning.

So all arrived safe and sound and ready for the next bit of the adventure.

Toodlepip for now chaps.
