Well, having spent Monday loitering around a very sunny hospital, I thought I would have no problem at all convincing G of just how lovely Sydney is. Then he got off the plane in a thunderstorm… Thank you Australia!
Things improved on the Tuesday, and despite him being very jet-lagged, and me being very sleepy, we finally made it for breakfast in the city followed by a boat ride to the zoo.
The zoo was stunning, not least because it gave exceptional views of the harbour. I don’t think you could find a spot anywhere else where you could see giraffes and the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The food, however, was vile- the second only example of rubbish food I have had since being here.
For dinner, however, we went to Mamak, which is a Malaysian restaurant, which was lovely, although I am still not entirely sure I know what I had to eat. The queues to get in were massive, so it is obviously very popular with the locals.
Graham assures me that nobody will understand the title of this entry… I am putting this down to the fact that he was not a Rainbow, Brownie or Guide, but shall explain anyway. The title is a line from the song ‘Animal Fair’ which you should all learn, even if only to get through very boring car journeys.
Haha I know the song! The joys of Brownies....
