Qantas flights are nice enough but lets face it... the food is always either really nice or really bizarre! Dinner was a nice enough for us but breakfast for Richard involved a slice of omelette and Jana had beans again. After having to fill customs forms twice (they didn't like green ink!), customs was fine for Richard however Jana got taken to one side and asked various questions - apparently they weren't entirely happy with her passport. The train station is just a nice short walk in the terminal and - once we got off the train - found that our hotel was a 2 minute walk from the Circular Quay station! Got our first look at the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House... wow! These are landmarks we are all familiar with and to actually see them in real life is just truly amazing!

The Quay Grand Suites was another hotel more than happy enough to find us a room hours before check-in. The suites aren't as opulent as The Regent but a LOT bigger and just has a very relaxing feel. It was really cool but surreal to see a famous landmark outside our hotel window. We originally planned to view the botanical gardens once we got here but sleep deprivation from the flight once again meant that we spent most of it either sleeping or relaxing in the suite. Found that Channel 7 and 9 are the best here... bizarrely they don't have a channel 8?!

Took a stroll down to the Opera House then found a convenience store to buy some dinners and milk etc for breakfasts. Watched the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge then dived in our very comfy bed.
