Took this picture early in my trek across the harbor bridge. It was early morning and it wasn’t too hot. Not as far as this picture makes it look either. Maybe 3.5 miles round-trip.
It was wonderful and I would do it again. Lots of runners and folk walking to work. I wondered where the bikers were. When I got to the other end I discovered that the bikers were on opposite side of the bridge. Very civilized.
Next and ferry for the 30 minute trip to Manly Beach. Where I sat on a bench in the shade and watched the surfers.
Back at my hotel, I discovered that the train to the airport is not running tomorrow. Track maintenance. Sounds familiar! So, I am left with $15 on my transit card. And no way to the airport except by 3 busses, Uber or taxi. Well and I suppose a car service. I should be over joyed that I found out today and not tomorrow when I showed up at the train station and the train didn’t. But, I am pissed about the $15 on the transit card. Chill Peg, if this is the biggest problem of the trip, I will have been damn lucky. It is a sunk cost problem, get over it.
I am washing all of my clothes at this instant. I am wearing the hotel bathrobe. Hope the machine doesn’t eat my clothes.
Sydney is getting more Chinese by the hour as it approaches the Lunar New year.
Somehow I will make it to the airport tomorrow and then on to Adelaide.
