Back to the magical land of oz( 3 nights)



Bliss.

The company I work for gave a free airline ticket to everyone to go to Sydney.
perfect opportunity to go to the motherland and party!

The airline is Lan Chile, the national airline of Chile, South America.
As they have joined the One World alliance, they have really improved.
However the food wasnt that great but it was a new aircraft and the best thing is you can watch movies in your time with your choice to stop and start if you are eating. I woke at 1.45am Fri 3 mar and my flight was at 545am.
because there was no traffic I was at the airport in 20 minutes!
Way too early. I checked in and the staff were quite grumpy and I packed my lighter into my cargo suitcase rather stupidly so had to unpack then and there and find it. Auckland airport is rather nice and I watched the news for awhile.
Dont we all just love filling out immigration cards?
The flight was full - surprsing for the time of the morning. I watched the Dukes of Hazzard which is nowhere near as bad as everyone says it is!
The flight path meant We flew past the city and could see all of the harbour
bridge and opera house.
Bought some duty free ciggies and it took ages to get through customs and immigration as many flights had landed.

The Original Backpackers provided a free shuttle from the airport which saved a few p[ennies. Its a great older style mansion on Victoria Street in Potts Point.
My room wasnt ready on check in as I was so early.The place was full of English, Canadian and Germans. They were preparing to have party, with decorations and wine and beer for $5 a head that night.
(No surprise, we're in Sydney!
