| In Sydney |
| We did finally arrive in Sydney, after our flight on Thursday was delayed by a day. We phoned the airline just as we left home in the car, after checking in online, and were told that the plane wouldn't be leaving HK that day. So, we turned round before even getting to the motorway and went out for dinner instead. Although it was a shame to miss out on a day with our family in Sydney, it turned out to be a really awesome evening, with our good friend KT.
The airline told us we were already checked in for the flight the next day. So, we arrived about an hour before hand to drop off our bags. But, when we arrived, it turned out we weren't checked in and the only way they could seat us together at such a late stage was to upgrade us! It was a such a blessing when we were so tired after a rather busy week, and meant we actually got some sleep on the plane.
We're in Oz for Helen and John's wedding, and Helen came out to the airport to meet us, along with Helen's mum & dad. Sadly, our already delayed flight was delayed by another 2 hours, because things were so manic in HK (with 500+ flights cancelled the day before, the airport was at double capacity, so even finding things like steps and empty gates was a challenge), so Helen had to leave the airport before we came through the gate :( But we've had a few chances to catch up with her since then :)
Last night was John's stag night, so pictures to come soon... or should these remain behind closed doors?! |
