Sydney Time

After almost a full day of booking, sleeping and catch up time, we went to China town a couple nights ago to see what we could see. Yesterday we spent AGES booking a rental car for the last 10 days of our trip. They said that they'd never had someone question the contract in such detail before. What do you really mean by "negligence" anyway? Deb, I know you love those people.

After that we took the ferry from the inner harbour (getting a good view of the opera house and so on) to a place called Manly Beach - and boy was it manly, not really. We then did a 10K walk around the bays and inlets through city, bush, and beach that was quite beautiful and a little exhausting. We got back, had some dinner and headed out in search of live music. We found an Irish cover band in their 40s with an attitude and a love of heckling the audience. It was pretty entertaining. I'm starting to feel less like a grandma, everyone in my hostel dorm was asleep when I got back!

Today's our last day here but it's raining quite a bit, not sure what we'll do. Tomorrow morning we fly to Tasmania - the land of the devil!
