So we've arrived in our hotel and it's it's a beautiful room actually we've got um
I'll give you a tour of the room in a minute we crashed out and slept
and we've just woken up and our first proper meal has arrived I've started it it's actually um
what is it Michele it's a Thai curry yeah with samosa, sweet pumpkin and mushroom steamed
Bao oh it's a steamed bun it's it's all a bit dry isn't it is it a bit dry yes but it's got quite a
flavor some spicy yeah but you need you'll need water to to get it down it's a little bit dry
um but it's quite quite tasty and uh we're settling in look we're just gonna settle in
um we probably have another sleep yet and then we'll show you around the room um a bit later on
anyway we're here in Australia. Good morning everybody day one hotel quarantine
here in Sydney, we just had our breakfast delivered I'm just doing a few photographs
but it's not too bad we've got um we've been given a little bit of orange juice some milk to go
with the tiniest portion of corn flakes I've ever seen um what looks to be a blueberry muffin
a packet of uh crackers maybe oh bit of cheese and crackers you can see there a banana and
uh two boiled eggs and some sautéed cold sautéed mushrooms and look I've got my
view of Sydney bridge. I don't know if that'll pick up because it's probably a bit backlit
and some office blocks out that side so there you are. Good morning, good morning, day one quarantine
Sydney hotel I love this uh I don't know if it's showing up here there's this
behind our bed there's it's like a wallpaper like a metallic wallpaper but it looks like
proper Aussie corrugated steel um but it's flat flat as a pancake although it's got this effect
it looks like corrugation now that's really Aussie only Aussies will know what I'm talking about
um on the tv we've got the menu for the day
we've got our breakfast which you've just been through there cream uh sorry cereal,
milk, boiled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, muffin, cheese, crackers, bananas and a packaged juice. So we got
for lunch we've got roast chicken, hummus, spinach, bell pepper, wrap pumpkin and
quinoa salad pear and cookies and tonight we've got a sous-vide lamb shank with your steamed herb
vegetables, mushy peas, mashed potato, bread roll and butter, spring roll and some dessert. So day one
we're on our own we don't know what's going to be happening today we haven't really got a clue
there's lots of complications with getting back to Melbourne which I'm not happy about um but
you know like I say with everything in life we'll deal with it, we'll deal with it. So we've got this,
we haven't got a balcony and you have to pay a thousand dollars for
a balcony in this hotel but we have got this big sort of double door which opens.
However for me this will be a problem for me, is we've got this endless really loud noise, you
probably hear it now it's probably sort of maybe distorting the sound but it is that loud there's a
very loud sort of convector fan or some sort of fan down here. I can see it's um
just this little vent here
it doesn't stop at all so the effects have got the sound of an aircraft taking off and
landing outside the window that sort of runs the whole time but we have got
you could call it a view of the Sydney harbour bridge
a little view of downtown Sydney center wouldn't it be nice without that noise
never stops the windows are double glazed so it does sort of block some of that sound out
and we've got another set of nice windows here albeit a little dirty looking out
well looking out there not much to see really but it's daylight it's nice and bright in the room so
I'm going to eat the muffin because I think the muffins probably fresh and it won't won't
be better in three or four hours time and we'll keep, we've also had one egg and we'll keep the
cereal and the crackers and cheese to sort of snack on through the day
the interesting thing is we're not big breakfast eaters and it's around about 9 45
in the morning so in about two and a half hours they'll be delivering the main course meal so
I don't think we're gonna be short of food and while it's a little bit
simplistic looking the food it it seems to be quite healthy which is a good thing considering
we've been overeating over the last six months not a bad muffin it's a blueberry muffin
Michele's is full of blueberries mine is full of flour reasonably fresh and quite tasty
wait look at this today we've got a lamb shank, spring roll,
a little little regular roll, some vegetables but this lamb shank is delicious
okay let's go and see if our breakfast has arrived
not sure if i heard them or not quick look through the keyhole, so no
it's about eight o'clock, yesterday I think it was there earlier but
we'll take it as it is I'm not too hungry don't normally even have breakfast but I just thought
it might be there, not yet Michele yeah gotta wait, gotta wait, I heard a little good morning and uh
So this is our, it's quite a heavy little breakfas,t this is our breakfast for the morning
What we got today Michele what we got today, looks, warm something warm this is a
oh this is a little curry funny we've got a a curry today potato and chickpea curry okay
and pita bread, a little bit of pita bread yum yum so we'll have this while
it's fresh because we need this, that wasn't on the menu no that's an extra
mango and passion fruit yogurt that's gotta be delicious and a rubbish bag
a little packet of corn flakes said muesli today but that's okay, no they didn't they said muesli
bar, ah did they, they did, so we've got orange juice again, some some more milk, a little fresh
milk, whole milk luckily um some crackers and cheese and an apple a day keeps the doctor away
all right a little this is a little bit of jam strawberry jam, this is meant to be a protein
museli bar ah okay they've changed it. So another day, day two uh in quarantine
I'm trying to make sort of little vlogs out of this but I'm you know what's happening, not
a lot, not a lot. and pull your mask down say ah in yourself we do throat and nostrils okay
all right hold your nostrils just relax please
