A short 20 minute drive to the airport to Hand the car back and check in. The flight to Sydney was just over an hour and a one hour advance of our watches. Thick cloud most of the way and some turbulence, but the clouds broke enough as we approached Sydney. We got our first glimpse of the opera house and the harbour bridge. We had a short taxi ride to our hotel which we found to be in the heart of a Chinatown in full preparation for the Chinese New Year celebrations. We had a short walk to Darlington harbour and found an Italian restaurant for tea and checked out a few ice cream shops to visit later in the week.
