We had the morning free to do a bit of speedy siteseeing in Christchurch before heading to the airport for the flight to Oz. Speedy was definitely the word! Annette was jogging between photo-ops!
At the airport, Avis couldn't have been more helpful with the ski-rack incident and even gave us a free day's hire to compensate for our inconvenience.
On arrival in Sydney we took the easy way of getting to the hotel - by taxi. Once there, we were more than pleasantly surprised to find we had complementary access to the executive lounge (free breakfasts, drinks & evening desserts!), which is probably due to the amount of time I've spent in their hotels when traveling on business. We were also surprised by the stunning view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from the room.
We went out for a quick stoll to get our bearings as the hotel was so near the waterfront and the weather was pretty good. Lots of the usual tourist photos and we ended up at an outdoor restaurant on "The Rocks" overlooking the bridge & Opera House for dinner - probably one of the best meals of the trip.
Back in the hotel we even saw a firework display by the bridge before crashing out.
