Sydney: 23rd December - 31st December December 23rd After not too much sleep, and four hours later than we expected we landed safely in Sydney. We picked up our luggage and were through immigration and customs in no time and so headed outside to get a taxi. 20 minutes later we were greeted by Chubb and Chan outside their flat and after a quick tour of the flat, Chubb took me and Laura for a walking tour of Sydney while Chan headed off to work.
