Travel agency accidentally booked a flight to Sydney, N.S.
Two Italian tourists were thrilled to be leaving Europe for the first time and heading to the land down under. But when their plane started to descend, they had a view of the Cape Breton coal mines rather than the white sails of the Opera House, reports CBC News. The couple, aged 25 and 26 thought there was a change of planes, but soon realized their travel agency had sent them to Sydney, N.S. by accident. A local hotel has put them up for free while they sort out their travel plans. This isn’t the first time a traveler has ended up in the wrong Sydney. It happened to a British couple in 2002.
