Last day in Sydney

After a night out on the plonk, i didn't take too kindly to being woken up by crazy Italians celebrating their worldcup victory at 6am!!!

However, i had to face to sunlight again to be whisked around by another tour guide offering her services for free (thanks again Lisa!). I was taken to some of the most sceneic points in Manly and some more spectactular views.

After about 2 hours of frantic sightseeing, i had to jump on the ferry to catch a plane back to smelly Melly, a i made the plane (just!! - had another small railway hiccup) and managed to take a few snaps on the way back.

Karma........

People often talk about karma. I believe, what goes around, comes around. Not really from a romantic, philosophical point of view, more from a logical or statistical point of view, in that if you do something good for someone, that makes someone feel good, they will transfer that sense of happiness or kindness onto another few people, who will inturn, pass it onto another few people, until eventually it gets back to you. The same goes for the otherside of the coin. Therefore i found it rather ironic and humerous that on the way home, i boarded the plane to find a couple with a baby sitting in my seat and next to my seat (i had booked a window seat so i could take photos of the city on the way home). I didn't say anything to them, as i didn't want to cause a fuss, or disturb them as they had a little one. So i sat down next to them and waited for the plane to fill up. This rude guy then taps me on the shoulder and tells me i am in his seat, and to get out of it. I explained that i had the window seat, but the couple were sitting there with a baby. Not impressed he demanded to sit in that seat, as "he likes to sit in the aisle". The couple with the baby checked their tickets and realised that they were sitting in the wrong seats, and should have been over the other side of the plane. I told them not to worry about it, i moved to a window seat (where they should have been) and the guy got his lovely aisle seat.

I got some nice sunset and aerial photos of Sydney and the guy got a 3 month old baby screaming in his ear all the way back to Melbourne!! (result!) When he got off the plane, his face was a picture, i reckon he had the worlds biggest headache, while i had a nice set of photos and an MP3 player !!
