Wednesday, 15th January, 2014 - Sydney, Australia

There's always something special about flying into Sydney on a beautiful sunny morning. As a fellow traveller in Taiwan once commented to me "when you fly into Sydney it's like someone turned on the lights" and that's certainly the feeling you get having come from winter in Geneva where there was drizzle and heavy fog when we left.
We arrived home to a heatwave with temperatures in the high 30s. The snowy Alps of last week are but a lovely cool memory!

With scenery like this on our doorstep who needs to go travelling?
