Bolt Spending His Holidays At The Hilton In Sydney

The "undisputed king" of the London Games, USAIN BOLT, is in Sydney to begin a holiday, according to Andrew Hornery of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Bolt was spotted darting through Sydney Airport on Wednesday. He dodged the small group of photographers who were in the airport to capture his arrival, the local band of paparazzi "too slow to catch the speeding athlete" as he ran toward a waiting car. Bolt quickly made himself at home in his hotel, the Hilton, tweeting a photo from his suite showing the downtown view from his room at midday (SMH, 9/27). In Sydney, Amanda Lulham wrote Bolt asked his more than two million Twitter followers "what he should do on a lovely sunny day in the city." Bolt tweeted: "took me all most 2 days but i am here in Sydney very sunny and nice, What to do in sydney today?" Bolt received lots of responses from Sydneysiders, ranging from spending a day at the Canterbury races to "downing a few pale ales" at the Clovelly Hotel (DAILY TELEGRAPH, 9/26).
