We are being collected at 08:00 so a fairly early start to finish packing and have breakfast. Some fog this morning in Melbourne so we are hoping that our flight to Sydney is not delayed. Our chauffeur arrived on the dot and we were whisked to the airport in very little time. Quite a wait until our flight but luckily all seems to be running smoothly.
We have now arrived in Sydney and arrived on time having been ~ 15 minutes late taking off. A short flight of only 1 hour.
We have been to Sydney several times before but this is our first time staying at the Four Seasons which is very close to Circular Quay and the view from our bedroom window is spectacular with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and ubiquitous cruise ship all in front of us.
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the Sydney Harbour bridge bears a close resemblance to the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. They were designed by the same UK architects ( Mott, Hay and Anderson) and build by the same UK engineers ( Dorman Long). The Tyne Bridge preceded Sydney's Harbour Bridge by three years.
This evening we are meeting one of Rosemary's clients Vince Cao, and his wife Amy, for dinner in the Circular Quay area.
