We arrive in Sydney with me needing a jacket (see Dec 23rd posts) and she needing absolutely nothing (we'd brought 5 tons of clothes)  I get a jacket in first shop we go in.  So guess who spends ages in shops while she dithers over what she wants.  Country Road then Myers, the Witchery, then David Jones, then Country Road, RJ Williams etc etc  again repeat ad infinitum

And the bad news for you is the great thing about the Radisson is it is easy walking distance not just to the Quay but also the serious shops.  Although there is the most jaw dropping looking red headed shop assistant in one of them

Shall I PM to LL with a list?   angel1

Just in case you decide to go cycling when in Oz, beware of low flying 'roos....  lol:

Would this be a good time to warn BM to check the insurance details on any car he hires there

We’ve variously had

- damage from hitting Roos is your liability (they do not follow the Green Cross Code)

- damage if driving after sunset is your liability (cos of Roo accidents)

and last time

- there is a A$5000 excess on the insurance unless your pay us A$59 a day

Well, whatever, nevermind

Not too many Roos in NZ so you should be OK, can’t recall those daft clauses there

Sydney is very accessible by foot, train and tour bus
