On their way to Christchurch was an Irish couple who had just had a few days in Sydney. They had only known about their trip 3 days before their departure. The trip was a gift from their children to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary and the wife's 60th birthday. Their daughter is living in New Zealand.
On Air Vanuatu I chatted to a guy travelling on a German passport and living in Vanuatu for his work project which was in the field of waste management. He only had one night in Sydney with an old friend and, from what he told me, it sounded like they partied all night long. Also travelling to Vanuatu for a 9 day stay was a Canadian family. They had spent time in Sydney and Melbourne and would be staying in Brisbane on their return from Port Vila.
Heading home to Germany on British Airways were 2 young German sisters (20 and 14 years old old). Their father had been with them for the first few days in Sydney and they then stayed with friends in Brisbane and had an enjoyable couple of days by themselves on the Gold Coast at the end of their stay Down Under. Also on the same flight was a friendly young Italian guy who had studied English in Sydney for the last few months and a young French guy who spent 4 months holiday just in Sydney.
I came across a few visitors who were in Australia just to visit friends. These included a British passport holder who lives in Pennsylvania, USA and another from Georgia, USA who spent a week only in Adelaide with a close friend.
Till next week.
