I don't have much to report tonight. We arrived in Sydney at around 7:30 pm after strolling around Noosa one more morning. It truly was hard to drive away from that little paradise. Who knows when we will be blessed enough to return?
Jeff drove us all back to the Brisbane airport where we flew through security and settled in for our flight.
We took the beautiful modern train from the airport and got off two blocks from our hotel on the Circular Quay right near Sydney Harbor. As we stepped from the train, there it was, the Bridge, the Opera House. Too good too amazing that we are here.
It's not just the breath-taking sights but it's the people here, too. They are this country's best asset which is saying a lot since the sights--they are spectacular. Warmth, friendliness, humor: these are the standards amongst the people down to each and every one. I guess we've hammered this impression pretty well by now on this blog. But it's true.
We are in Sydney now as I said. It is nearly midnight. The city is humming and getting ready for New Year's Eve.
We walked around the area called The Rocks and stumbled upon a German Restaurant up a street that looked as if it were in Disney World (the only thing missing besides Mickey was the fake rocks with music playing out of their hidden speakers). The Lowenbrau Munchen restaurant was delicious but even more fun. Music and singing and yodeling all for our entertainment. Quinn couldn't wipe the smile off her face.
The table behind us were other tourists from Texas and we exchanged quick notes with them on our mutual travels. We all have caught the happy bug from this place. It is a good disease to have, I think.
More tomorrow but in the meantime lets all put our heads together and think of a way we can all come back to this enchanted place. Everyone's invited.
