As we prepare to say farewell to Sydney we decided to buy an all-day ticket on the City Monorail so we could whirl round the circuit endless times at ever diminishing cost per trip (I just know that Mr Menzies our Bank of Scotland Manager will approve).

But way before that at about 6am SuperSurferGran was in the Internet-Café rubbing shoulders with people on skate-boards and fallen crutch pants.

After about 35 circuits the staff took pity on us and gave us a tartan blanket to cover or knees.

The driver succumbed to Sian's charms and handed the controls over to her – instantly she revved up the speed. It was only moments later that the driver broke into a sweat as it dawned on him that he had handed the controls to Danger-Woman.

Mercifully they are yet to rig up a bungy jump off this one.

We had a jolly fine day on the monorail so I was a little embarrassed when Sian decided to barricade herself in the monorail as part of ‘Save the Whale Week’. As you can see the staff struggled to get her out – I have left out the pictures of the Sydney Police escorting her to the cells.

And finally, by chance I happened upon the Bank of Scotland’s Sydney branch. I immediately demanded an appointment with the local version of Mr Menzies only to be told he had just jumped off the top of this building due to yet another stock crash. Perhaps there is a God after all.
