The Sydney weather was wet and raining, so we decided to do an indoor activity — yep, the Sydney Opera House. Every other tourist in Sydney must have decided to do the same thing.

Unfortunately, my eldest daughter was not feeling well. After one trip to the bathroom with no success, we continued the tour, keeping an eye out for other bathrooms. And then it came — at the one spot in the Sydney Opera House where there were no bathrooms in sight. She vomited onto and into the nearest rubbish bin. Sorry Sydney Opera House cleaning staff. We did try to find a bathroom. No doubt this story will become part of our family folklore, to be recounted at family events for many years to come.
