5 Relaxing days in Sidney

We had a lovely and relaxing visit to Sidney.  WE loved the Intercontinental and our view of Sidney harbor from the 30th floor. We walked all over the city, found hiking boots that would fit over my sore foot and visited the Powerhouse Museum. Talk about lazy…we hardly left the hotel--we had two terrific buffets in the hotel-wonderful food, free wine and great service.

It was a short stay in Sidney and today (Thursday in Australia) we packed up and made an early flight to Auckland. Again, the flight couldn’t have been nicer and the flight attendants adopted me and set up a wine tasting especially for me—if my typing gets sloppy, blame it on the fine New Zealand wines…

We are now sitting in Air New Zealand’s domestic club awaiting our flight to Christchurch. They are serving high tea, so, more from me later!
