Waking Sydney
Posted by Stuart at 08:08 AM on April 09, 2005We've arrived safely in Sydney. Unfortunately though, we arrived at 6 AM and were at our hotel by 7. Of course we can't check in until around noon, so we are hanging out at a local breakfast place and watching the city wake up.
Well, actually, I'm the only one doing any watching. Piyawat is propped up against the glass wall overlooking the sidewalk sound asleep. We didn't get much sleep on the overnight flight because the turbulence was quite rough at times, so I can't blame him for resting a bit now.
In fact, I think it's a great idea; I just don't think I can sleep in a busy breakfast restaurant. So what will my first activity in Sydney be, after we check in? Taking a nap, I'm sure!

Glad to see you got there safely, Stuart. Same thing happened to me when I landed in Sydney-- although when I flashed a cute smile, the girl at the reception somehow managed to find me a room a few hours earlier than when I was supposed to check in.
Have fun! Oz is such a great country.
It is good to be in a city as it wakes up, even if you are tired. I'm a teacher in Oz and am interested to know who you are interviewing. Oh and if you go to the beach, go to Coogee rather than Bondi, less crowded and more cute.
