December 17, 2012, Monday, Sydney

After a 6 hour car/truck ride from Coffs Harbour, we reached Sydney.  We have two rooms above a swinging bar in the heart of Sydney.  Lucky for us there are no bands scheduled until Wednesday and we will be long gone.  Chinatown for dinner and shopping tomorrow.  Barb and Brad lived in Sydney together for years...so they know their way around.  I have always  loved the way Australians say things so descriptive.  For instance, Linn Keelan said that when you go to visit people you should "knock with your elbows"...in other words, always bring lots of gifts.  Perfect saying for the right thing to do.  We will spend two nights in Sydney and then board the cruise ship for New Zealand.
