Trip to New South Wales, Day 1

In April this year, our family flew down to Sydney and spent a hectic few days in this historic city. We also travelled down to and stayed on the beautiful South Coast, the Illawarra.

In the coming weeks, we hope to blog some of the details and images of this trip, taken before Flat Charlie or Flat Pedro were born!

It was exciting returning to Sydney, particularly in being able to share this city with my family. It’s hard to fathom the size of the city, until you have negotiated much of the length of George Street, which we did on Tuesday. Our plan for Day 1, Monday, was to get an overview of the city, but we still managed to see a little of Chinatown.

We first visited the monorail on the Monday we arrived. It took quite a while to find as it seemed that everyone we asked had either different directions or simply didn’t know where it was at all. Despite all that, we got there, and it was good.

It didn’t quite live up to our expectations, but it went to several major parts of Sydney, and it was fun to ride on. The only other problem was the Monorail was so popular there wasn’t much space.
