Arrived in Australia

---

We had problems gaining internet access at our hotel in Sydney. Sorry for the delays, so here are the ones we have been saving.

On 8/21, we had a good but long flight to Sydney. We left shortly after midnight on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and we arrived in Sydney around 7:30 am on Thursday morning. We are now 17 hours ahead of the west coast of the USA. We loved flying Qantas and especially the personal entertainment system in each seat.

After arriving in Sydney, we found our hotel, dropped our bags, cleaned up a bit, and went out exploring. We found an art museum, went to the top of the Sydney Tower, visited the Sydney Aquarium, found a supermarket, wandered through some malls, and rode the subway system. Our feet hurt quite a bit! So far the language barrier has not been too difficult. We are learning to look right before crossing the street since they drive on the left side of the street here.

This was an exhibit on shopping through the years. Kirsten felt right at home!
