Got a bit lost near the jewellery store but Buster Wilson soon had us back on track for the right gate.

Discovered a great collection of quality, reasonably priced, hard wearing t-shirts for sale at this duty free outlet.

Buster Wilson decided to buy some US dollars in Sydney Airport thus ensuring an excellent rate of exchange.

The plane that will wing the Busters away can be seen in the background. (Poor picture quality due to giving the camera to a non-Buster)

A slightly nervous condition descended on Buster Leggett just prior to take off.

blog time
Jesus H Christ in a sidecar. The tension is unbearable. I can't wait for the G1s to make it through customs at Bangkok in six months time - "blog time" , that is. This better be worth it.
