October 3rd - Sydney, Canada

The sun was waiting for us upon our arrival in Sydney. Had a nice day
enjoying the beautiful scenery that surrounds this quaint little town.

The locals informed us that on occasion travelers have arrived at the wrong
Sydney airport - they get off the plane and discover that they are in Nova
Scotia, not Australia, really a big surprise if it happens in January
(winter here - summer in Australia). They make a big deal of it, taking
their picture and publishing them in their local newspaper. They put them up
in a local hotel until they can make arrangements to get them back on their
way down under. Legend has it that once it was a famous tennis player who
then came back the next summer and gave tennis lessons to the local children
to thank everyone for their hospitality.
