Formule 1 Airport Sydney

Day 1 of the trip. We are staying at the F1 Hotel tonight, and getting on the plane in the morning. Travelled down to Darling Harbour. looked around for some last minute souveneirs, and continued on to the hotel.

I arrived in Sydney and had a blissful day with a beatufiul man before heading back to the airport for my afternoon flight.
