Our first flight westbound was on Garuda Indonesia, Sydney to Denspaar (Bali).
The service on this flight was as excellent as our flight into Sydney, and both of us were looking forward to our time with Garuda.
Our time in Australia & New Zealand had come to its end. After spending a week in Sydney at the same hotel, we had time to reflect on the pace of the trip at the beginning, where one or two night stays was the norm. The upside to that pace was the many locations, and opportunities to explore the many parts of the Australia. And even after 5 weeks we still had not set foot in the state of Western Australia!
After a short and efficient ride from the hotel, we arrived at Sydney’s International airport to begin our journey home. Our first flight was operated by Gaurda Indonesia, but before the flight, it’s time for the Lounge Report of Skyteam Lounge Sydney.
Our final zoo visit was to the Australian Reptile Park. Situated just under an hour north of Sydney it was an easy drive. This would her last chance to get her fill of animals. She made the most of it!
The visit to the Museum didn’t work out as planned. First, Amber came down with a Migraine and ended her ability to be outside for the day. Secondly, my plans to meet up with a coworker shorten my time at the museum. But what I did get to see was worth every moment.
Sydney has a healthy mix of parks and green spaces around its downtown core. Most notable for us were Hyde Park and the Botanic Gardens. The gardens start right beside the Opera House and are a refreshing spot to get away from the urban jungle just steps away.
