Day 78 Thursday, March 30, 2006 Our original flight was Calgary - Vancouver - Singapore - Auckland and return, (Australia being a side trip) thus requiring us to return to Auckland for the trip home. Upon arrival at the Sydney airport this morning, there was no sign of Aerolineas Argentinas (OK so they were cheap), no listing, no counter, no answer the phone. Well we didn’t want to go back to Auckland anyway, so Singapore Air just booked us through to Singapore where we are tonight, a day early and seven hours flying time less.
A word on Australian lingo. Our outback tour guide was “Chappy” (Chapman), at most cafes you can get all day “brecky”, McDonalds sells “hot chocy”, the biggest and toughest men in Australia play a game they call “footy” and it goes on. I have to conclude that “Aussie” is self inflicted.
