Australia Vacation -- Day 6

Back on the plane. The Qantas people were extremely nice and helpful in finding an extra seat for Katelee and giving Olivia a coloring/activity pack. The flight from Cairns to Sydney was about 3.5 hours. We arrived around 4:30 p.m., grabbed our bags, and hailed a taxi to take us to our next “home.” The apartments we are staying at in Sydney are very nice and right down town. We unpacked. Mark took a quick trip to the grocery store around the corner (and McDonald’s across the street). We ate. Then, the girls crashed – they shared a King-sized bed for the first time. How did it work? Well, Olivia cried at 11:30 with a nightmare. Katelee woke up about 2:00 crying, so we brought her into bed with us. Then, Mark switched beds at 5:00 due to Katelee kicking him and the need to keep Olivia in bed at the crack dawn. We've rented a crib for the rest of our stay! We grabbed a bunch of brochures to plan our days here, and we’ll head out tomorrow on our next adventure! See you then!



Since we don't have the picture of Katelee enjoying a fudge-cicle on the plane (all over her face), enjoy the prettier one of Courtney at Port Douglas from Day 5.
