mytravelbackpack @ Travelodge Wynyard, Sydney, Australia
We arrived in Australia 34 hours after we left home. Imagine, 34 hours of great comfort in taxi, airport, plane, airport, plane, airport, plane, airport, taxi. We tried to sleep a couple of hours but we couldn’t really rest, we are too excited about our first trip down under.
Our first stop was Sydney for 2 days. This is just enough time to sleep sufficiently and to fight the jetlag (which wasn’t that bad).
The Travelodge Wynyard welcomed us in their peaceful place. That’s exactly what we needed. A comfortable place where we can take the time needed get a couple of good night of sleep before beginning this great journey in Australia. The problem with Sydney is that even if you got a great hotel, you just don’t want to spend time in it, you want to explore this great city. Low price in a good location, that is what a lot of people want! 
So, what about the hotel? First of all, it is pretty well located. You don’t need to be an athlete to get to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay, they both are an easy stroll away. The room was clean and quiet, it is all we need!
Oh, I forgot to tell you that the staff is really nice, that’s so important when you haven’t sleep for more than 30 hours!
The Citrus Grove Restaurant offers simple but good menu open from 6am to late at night. Note that there are not a lot of restaurants around the hotel for open at dinner time since it is in CBD, so you should think of going to Circular Quay or Darling Harbour. By the way, there is a nice food court just down on Jamison street where you can find thai, indian and other oriental restaurants.
