We’ve made arrangements to head to Sydney for a few days. Although we’ve travelled a little in recent months, including to Sydney, this will be our first plane trip since before “covid”.
I’m still in the era of preferring to use a laptop even while travelling so I’ve been firing it up before leaving. I’ve always found that, after a computer hasn’t been used for a while, there’s a lot of updating to be done. This certainly applies to Windows and the anti-virus software, but is certainly not limited to these.
We don’t plan to hire a car while in Sydney, but out of sheer curiosity I checked rates and availability. There was only limited availability (mainly of top-of-the range vehicles) and the prices quoted weren’t cheap. In fact it seems that there’s a shortage of hire cars over the whole country. Random searches on the internet suggest that the same applies in tourist destinations such as Cairns and Tasmania, and I’ve been told that it’s hard to find cars in Melbourne, and if you can find one, it’s expensive. Looks like our plan to rely on Opal cards and Uber are the way to go!
