Sydney, Australia offers great variety during off-season for Bali Family
We are off on another trip this time to Australia for family ties and New Zealand for skiing.
Unfortunately the trip down was not that good on Qantas. I found it almost impossible to sleep in the very narrow uncomfortable chairs which on an overnight trip was not. Normally I would purchase extra legroom but for only a 5 1/2 hour flight I did not think it was necessary.
Evening Qantas flight attendant confirmed this is one of the worst planes they had in their fleet.
Although the check-in was quick and very professional we found when after we arrived in Sydney that my tennis bag which originally had planned to carry on but was convinced by family to check in, had not arrived.
It was then that I realized that very uncharacteristically I had at the last moment put my Nikon camera several expensive lenses into the bag along with a lot of the electronics I needed for my computers, cell phones etc.
When we finally realized that the bag was not coming I went to the Qantas counter and found a very lazy, gentlemen who didn't seem to care the least.
They gave me a tracking number. I tried to contact the number the next morning and after 45 minutes gave up with no answer.
After I did a list of what was in the bag I realized that I had about $3,300 of valuables at their including two tennis rackets etc.I was even more hurt by the fact that this tennis bag was an original Wimbledon tennis back from Wimbledon when I visited there many years back.
So it had lots of sentimental value which of course Quantas didn't care
I was not looking forward to trying to retrieve that money from Qantas and my travel insurance.
So the next morning there was no sign of it and then I decided to drive directly to the airport fully intending to give Qantas a piece of my mind. The bag had finally showed up two days later.
At any rate the fear of loss and hassle trying to purchase new cameras tennis equipment etc. was then alleviated and we had on one of the vacation in full spirit.
As usual I organized home exchanges to save thousands and thousands of dollars.
To start our trip we ended up in a swank area of downtown Sydney in a very classy private residence with full-size indoor swimming pool, health club etc..
It's kinda nice to come home at night and have a concierge open the door for you privately
The great thing is it is in close proximity to the harbor and we've had several walks already down to the harbor where we had a great steak and yesterday morning crossed a bridge.
Yesterday we also enjoyed a day out at the Featherdale wildlife Park, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Sydney.
The park features all the normal rare Australian animals Wallabies, Kangaroos, Emus, Crocodiles and wild dingoes.
Most interesting is the Tasmanian Devil who eat their young. Reminds me a few real estate agents I know.
All in all Sydney at this time of the year is beautiful with daytime temperatures from 12 to 18 centigrade and nighttime falling to 10 to 15.
Bring lots of money because it's super expensive here.

We visit emerald villa many time. We feel like this villa is my house in Sanur,Bali. All staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love Sanur. not too much people but convenient and beautiful area. Our most fun is surfing. surf almost every day. We can walk to beach soon . I cook breakfast every morning. We also enjoy near local Bali food and many kinds of restaurants for lunch and dinner. We can require Bali massage at villa. very comfortable.I really recommend the stay . Thank you. Our next visit is March. of course must be fun.
