I've been awake since like 2:30am and can't get back to sleep.. but the plus side of that is that I got to see the underside of the Sydney Harbour Bridge about 25 minutes ago. Pretty keen to get off the ship and on the road apparently. I'm glad I went to bed relatively early!

Still won't be able to disembark for 2 hours due to the customs staff not being at the terminal until 6:30am.. which is ok because the car hire place doesn't open until 7:30am.

Hurry up, time!

Was the 4th off the ship and I booked my Uber from the gangway like a boss so my car was ready for me as soon as I walked out. Beat the surge pricing hell yeeeeahhh!

Although I am at the rental car place 35 minutes before they open.

Have a safe drive back mate, don't push it too hard on low sleep - there's still some rain hanging around Goulburn heading east, hopefully it clears up by the time you hit the frog and toad.

I found that rain! Got through it no worries though. Just at Yass now.
