Landed in Sydney, 8.30 am, and it was raining! Got to the hotel, which is spitting distance from 'the bridge', and Denise Kelly's advice to e-mail and request an early check-in came up trumps, and we were in, unpacked and out by lunch! A bit like the Aussie batsmen!
So tired now, though, but we're trying to stay awake until at least 9pm in an attempt to beat the jet-lag!
