Sydney to Adelaide
20/07/12 10:06 Filed in: Australia
We were booked on a Qantas afternoon flight to Adelaide.
It was a cool sunny day in Sydney. After breakfast we had a few hours to kill and walked through Hyde Park to the city centre.
A peek at the bridge.
Dropped into a Telstra shop to buy a local SIM card. For Aus$30 we got a micro SIM preloaded with what I hope will be sufficient data and voice for our stay.
Nan at the harbour bridge.
University train station was not far from our hotel but with several bags we took a taxi instead. The difference in cost is marginal.
Checkin at the Qantas terminal was very quick. Rather than fiddle about with the self service machines we waited just a few minutes for a normal checkin.
Our plane this afternoon was a 22year old year old Boeing 737 VH-ZXD 22 (ex British Airways). This type of aircraft will soon be phased out by Qantas.
Boarding was pretty quick. There was a small delay due to instrument malfunction but we were soon on our way. A short uneventful flight.
The drive home took longer.
