Sydney almost redeems itself (but doesn't) with probably the best beer garden in the world.






After a hellish fifteen hour bus ride down the coast that nearly broke Sandra (AGAIN) we arrived in Sydney at 6 a.m for the early check in we had requested at the hotel, only to be told in best pidgin english that hotel room not ready til 2 pm to every single question we asked. Then the woman tried to charge us twice for the room.
Forced to traipse the streets for an hour we found that something had gone wrong and the sun was cracking the flags. We ended up in a district called The Rocks under the harbour bridge which appears to be the best bit of the city. We found a pub and went to the beer garden - which was situated on the roof - and had a view of the opera house which even i have to admit looks a lot more grand in the sunshine than the rain (see view above).
As you can see all Sandra's wadrobe experiences have finally tired her out...
