We arrived in Sydney at around 8am after 14 hours non-stop from LA. These long flights get tougher every trip. We met up with the Yermacks in the airport. They had arrived an hour or so before us from Perth having travelled all night. The girls were glad to see each other. The trip from the airport to downtown was eventful as usual with 6 kids and 5 adults. But we made it in one van!
This picture was actually taken on our second day in the city. It was beautiful. I got sunburned. There is significantly less ozone in AU.
Our first excursion was to the Chinese Gardens by the convention center. It was very interesting and the kids ran around. There were lots of local school children on field trips.
Here is one of the Sydney locals... He looks poisonous. Let me tell you that the wild life in AU is very aggressive and not to be taken lightly. A single ant bite can more likely than not put you in the hospital here.
Here we are eating meat pies. Hmmm meat pies.
Meghan is at breakfast our second day. She is still a little jet-lagged.
I am eating Vegemite. I am very tolerant of new foods from around the world. This is one that is both sour and bad tasting in many respects. Clearly an acquired taste.
More from the Aquarium and the Maritime Museum tomorrow.
