Arriving in Sydney Airport after 14 hours of flight, we arrived at 5AM local time...
Sydney was our port of entry since there are no direct flights to New Zealand from the US. The International terminal was designed for everyone's comfort and shopping, they had several duty free shops selling most of what we can buy from America, their rate of exchange is $1.20 per $1AUD... better shop in the main City if you want to buy in-expensive souvenirs..
Sandy going through the terminal waiting area at the Sydney international airport... quite a long walk...
The Duty Free shop offers mostly American products but at a higher cost since it is all imported to Australia..
Sandy & i busied ourselves with shopping since we had 6 hours of lay over, they had plenty of places to eat and lie around, couches that are designed for weary travelers needing to lie down or nap while waiting for their connecting flights.
The stuffed Koala bear I was holding in my hands cost $75 AUD (equivalent to $105USD), whew, that was scary, yet cute for a picture taking.
Sandy lounging around the Cafe waiting area, time went by fast, its like shopping in the malls...
