    Have to leave Oz on crutches next week to come home for surgery and have a 14 hour overnight stopover there to look forward to.

    I can't sleep in airports so I'm kinda hoping to check out the city. Not sure how else to pass the time.

    Does anyone have any information on this place - will there be anywhere open at night, where to get my visa, how safe is it for tourists, how to get around, what the language barrier is like etc.

    Thanks.

    will there be anywhere open at night
    I think the shops generally stay open until 10PM ish so there should be somewhere open, failing that all the hotels around have bar restraunts.

    how safe is it for tourists
    Very safe I spent a while there recently andquite liked the place, people seemed generally friendly and I never had an ounce of trouble.

    how to get around
    Taxis are probably the easiest and are dirt cheap too.

    what the language barrier is like
    Didnt have a problem myself, eveyone I met there has a passable level of english, sometimes the taxi drivers didnt understand where I wanted to go because I was pronouncing the name of the places wrong though.
