We’re here!! A very early start – a 3.30am wake up for a 6 am flight, all in a gusty Wellington wind. The rock and rolling started on the runway, but apart from another bumpy patch towards the end of the Sydney leg, it soon calmed down.
The day was most memorable for an encounter with Aussie border control. Even though we were completing customs at Adelaide, with just a transit stopover in Sydney, we had to go through security to re-board. Of course the ‘no liquids’ policy was enforced – if only someone had told us before we bought our duty free refreshments at Wellington airport! So each couple had to forfeit a bottle to the Border Control Christmas Party stash! Gutted! Luckily, I was allowed to keep my two bottles of perfume.
It was raining when we landed at Adelaide so we headed straight to our hotel, checked in and then grabbed some lunch – some indulged in some very sweet treats (but not me, of course!) Then it was back for a nana nap – it had been a long day!
We found a little French Bistro down the road for dinner – fairly rustic, and they had run out of a lot of our choices from the menu, but friendly and cheerful.
