Sydney - Day 1

---

Fabulous! arrived in Sydney virtually on time at around 07:00, got through security and eventually found the new (?) shuttle train station.
Bit pricey AUS$ 33 to go 5 stops, but easier and probably cheaper than a taxi.

Got to Museum / Hyde Park / Elizabeth Street ok and walked to hotel - cloudy, warm 23 and occasional spots of rain, but didn't care.
Got to the corner near the hotel, and found that where we'd had breakfast on previous holiday had been renovated to - guess what? a Pie Face!
Fab, can see us using that often.
As expected our room wasn't ready on the 54th floor until 14:00, but they had one ready on the 24th, which we viewed and decided to take.
Glad we did, because whilst having a toastie and coffee in Pie Face (a mere $20) started to feel dizzy with tiredness.

Got to bed around 11:30 and didn't wake till 21:30

Dedided to rally and go out to re-acquaint ourselves with the Oxford street bars.
Was a good night and surprisingly busy considering Mardi Gras had finished 10 days earlier.

Got home after 4 drinks and $80 lighter (ouch! but what the hell) at around 04:00
Aw! Pie Face was closed!
So had the Hot Cross bunnies we'd bought earlier setting off the smoke alarm in the process!
Oh well!
