Saturday December 27th 2008 - Auckland to Sydney

We managed a nice sleep in and then headed off to the airport – with a little interpretation regarding Harry’s ticket back to Sydney. No fear – all was well, and we are now safely ensconced in the Ibis Sydney Airport Hotel. We had breakfast in the New Zealand Lounge, and were treated extremely well on the airplane. We had a very smooth flight over, though – perhaps we both have colds, we had some challenges clearing our ears. Not sure if we are yelling at each other or what.
We arrived to a lovely warm day, but by about 4 PM it was absolutely pouring rain, and the airport was closed down because of the thunder, lightening and rain. We were glad to have landed early. Harry in his first class seat - hard to take!
We had a relaxing evening – reading and catching up the blog, then an early morning for a very busy tomorrow – flying into Ayers Rock. We trust the airport will be open by then. As I write, the rain and storm have stopped but the sky still looks a little threatening.
