Our "first" journey is complete! We left Tulsa 92 days ago and we are now home with our family! It's been such an incredible experience and we look forward to having many more, but for now, we get to enjoy time with our family and friends!
We arrived back in Sydney from New Zealand on May 6th at 8:45 a.m. Since our return flight to the U.S. was for the following day we booked a hotel within the Sydney International Airport. We went in to see if they had a place to hold our bags until we could check in, and to our surprise, they had a room ready for us! We rested for a little bit, but decided we should stay awake and prepare for our 25 hour journey back home. So....we headed into Sydney for the day.
We came across this hair salon with a sign saying "Men's hair cut $10" so David jumped at it. Neither one of us has had our hair cut since coming over here. Silly happy face; it took the lady about 7 minutes to complete the hair cut. Wow!
Next stop...Food! We tried going to a pizza place we found in February, but they didn't open until 5 p.m. during the week. So, we used google maps and found another place nearby. It turned out to be wonderful! Our server was from Florence and the owner was from Naples. Great food!
A perfect espresso!
Before leaving our server brought out limoncello; complimentary!
Just like we used to get in Italy! He got a really good tip! Bellissimo!
Making our way back to the harbour area.
Walking through Hyde Park.
The Sydney Tower Eye.
Queen Victoria Building
We had been to the Sydney Harbour several times so we decided to
check out Darling Harbour. Very nice!
Home Sweet Home!
Wonderful reception at the airport and we got to meet sweet little Emelyn for the first time!
