It's been a busy day in Sydney - dropped off the McCarthy suitcase at the hotel having skipped a queue of hundreds at the customs check - blame foot and mouth in the UK I was told ! Saw Sydney harbour, Opera House etc ..... muesli overlooking the ferry terminal before heading off to surprise Warwick and Janine at their shop...... Janine was there and we had coffee covering the latest news from BSB - it was lovely to see their business expanding into the arcade and we will start a petition in Brunei to move the Nail Girls on so the business can expand even futher - Sorry to have missed Warwick.....
Elmarie treated me to a whirlwind tour of Sydney - don't talk to her when she's driving as she get's lost but at least I've now driven over the Harbour Bridge...... followed by several liquid refreshments and a seafood chowder.....
Kevin Mac is looking as healthy as ever with the same response when asked 'So, what's the news' comes a standard reply of 'Not much now.....' and that after a few years on the missing list......
All that in the first 12 hours in Sydney - a place for tourists for sure but I think the McCarthy suitcases (with kids in tow) will probably head for Brisbane for more kid friendly activities should we come back.
Oh, by the way, it's a first, but I am the last of the McCarthy siblings to visit Sydney - now that says something...........
