Day two – A rainy Sydney day

Oct 14th 1pm Sydney time, 10pm Oct 13th Toronto time.

HAHA!!  I just read what I wrote last night!  Man I was tired!  The end of it doesn’t make any sense.  So I went back to fix the posting.

It’s my second day here in Sydney and I woke up at 7:30am to the sound of rain which ruined my plans for the day.  I was hoping to adventure out to Bondi beach and explore that area and the many beautiful views I hear that the coastline has, but I’m not taking photos in the rain.  So I’ve decided to stay here in the downtown for the day.

So I went back to bed for an hour to get  bit more sleep.  I got up around 8:30, took shower etc and realized that my flat iron doesn’t work here even with the power converter.  Since I had to go out to find  cheap breakfast I decided to look for a store that I coud buy some hair product to tame this frizzball with.  Luckily for me I found a pharmacy (which they call a Chemist) and they had flat irons on sale!  So I bought one and it works great!  Luckily I found a little grocery store across the hall from the Chemist and was able to buy a premade salad for breakfast, 2 banana’s (one today one tomorrow) and some Yogurt & Milk for tomorrow morning before my flight to the next city.  I’ve got a little fridge here in my room that I can keep food in.  Thankfully, because breakfast isn’t included and I have yet to find a resturant that serves anything under $20 meal.  This city is sooo expensive.

My day hasn’t been a super productive sight seeing one yet, but I am familiarizing myself with the city which is what I need to do for when I get back here at the end of my trip.  I’m going to grab my umbrella and visit a museum or two since it’s so gross outside.  I’m hoping to meet up with my friend Erik tonight for some drinks, so I’m looking forward to that.

Tomorrow I return to the airport and I’m off to the next city!
