G'day!
The Kathmandu-Calcutta-Singapore-Sydney triple hop was happily uneventful, the only downer being no internet availability in Calcutta Airport so a very boring 6 hours there. 24 hours after leaving the Shanker Hotel in Kathmandu I touched down at Sydney just five minutes late.
I'm staying here with good friends Bruce and Jo Colman and their two young sons Dylan and Lewis. Bruce worked with Kate in Oxford in the 90's and I met them in the first few weeks that Kate and I were seeing each other. They immediately announced they were going back to Australia...

It was a welcome sight to see Bruce waiting at arrivals and weird to be on smooth roads as we drive out to their house. We snatch a view of the Opera House as we swing round in front of the harbour and then turn to drive over the massive Harbour Bridge.
We stay up chatting late but I am keen to be up and out and see the city on Monday. Needless to say that goes by the board, I sleep till midday then spend till 3pm doing the blog update I would have done in Calcutta. But then head into town, and it's... great. There's something momentous about harbour cities and Sydney does it really well.
