Day 4 - 31st July 2007

Arrived in Sydney about 8 and then connecting flight to Auckland at 11. Overnight flight to Sydney wasn't special - Annette's video system didn't work but at least she got a duty voucher as compensation. Auckland flight was on a clean modern Airbus run by LAN that was continuing on to Santiago in Chile after Auckland.

Caught a taxi to the hotel (The Sebel Suites) on Viaduct Harbour. Traffic was awful so the journey took about an hour. Slight mix-up on the reservation but they quickly took care of it and we had two nice rooms next to each other.

Quick walk around the city centre to find somewhere to eat - ended up back at a restaurant on the harbour behind the hotel. First New Zealand lamb of the visit - good food but slow service.

Helen says -

Nm happened got to Sydney airport had breakfast got n another plane to get to auckland New Zealand.

We got a taxi from the airport and I was shattered and slept the whole way there (i hadnt slept much on the plane)

The hotel was lush me and andrew shared a room but it wasnt really a room more like a studio apartment with a open plan kitchen, living area and bedroom and we also had the biggest bathroom ever it was unbelievable!! it was bigger than my parents even tho they had seperate room thing(not all open plan) and it was a wet room it was really odd having a shower in the corner of the room straight onto the floor.
