arrived Sydney

Arrived Sydney airport, 1 hour late, the flight was delayed for some technical reason, not the right paperwork or something, it had had a mainteneance check. Anyway finally we were off and up in the air, I landed thinking I hope I recognise her from the photo's, and sure enough, my wrinkly old Aussie was a familiar sight as I walked through the doors. Libby took me on a detour home to Collaroy showing me some of the lovely sights instore!! I went over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and you could see groups of people doing the climb, that will be me on Monday 16th !!! We arrived at Libby and Macca's, and I was introduced to Macca, who seeems a nice warm friendly person. Macca left to go to some school reunion and Libby and I chatted and chatted.....and chatted heaps catching up on each others lives drinking Champagne he had left us, then we went out to a bar, haha I've found a kindred spirit, Libby is a lightweight like me and gets tipsy quickly so 2 drinks later we are trying to walk the straight line home..... not very successfully. Libby made us both a cocktail callled a Cock Sucking Cowboy, it's made from Baileys and something else, I'll ask when they wake later.... and that was it after 2 of those we decided it was time to give in and head off to sleep.
Here I am 7-7.30 and wide awake.... and no reason for it I've left my 5yr old (Shannon) alarm clock back in Melbourne :)
