The Poms Arrive in Oz

Well here we are, Dan and I (Geoff) have arrived in Oz and the second part of the UK team are due to land this morning. Over the last couple of days we have tried everything to sort out the jet lag, from hot baths to drinking the NSW monthly allocation of water! We attempted to ride the bikes through Sydney yesterday morning only to be frustrated by hundreds of traffic lights and some not so friendly motorist. Needless to say we ended up lost and achieving very little other than a great breakfast of hot chocolate and pastries at a local deli. As part of our commitment to visiting Oz we agreed to meet up with our Westcon colleagues to talk about business and the likes. However, as luck would have it we arrived on a day when the Westcon operations team had planned to celebrate someone leaving the company after 10 years service and of course we were asked to join the celebrations. So the banter continued and we put the world to rights, needless to say Dan and I are feeling a little worse for wear thanks to the great hospitality of Barry Broom and David Corcoran. More water please nurse!
