Well, after a long--but surprisingly not too painful--flight, I arrived in Sydney Wednesday morning. I even made it through quarantine, customs, and immigration with very little hassle. Luckily, Jen was standing outside her apartment to meet me and my backpack, though she soon abandoned me to head back to work. I didn't mind: I had two things on my mind, a shower and a bed. Getting both those things (and in that order), I managed to sleep away most of the day, and most of the next night, too. So while I left Toronto on Monday, it took me more or less until Thursday to actually "arrive". I spent all day yesterday wandering around Sydney, browsing down George St., having lunch in Hyde Park. Spent the rainy afternoon in the Australian Museum, learning all about the various highly venomous animals that make their home on this continent. I plan to give them a wide berth!
Today I'm also wandering around Sydney (Jen doesn't have a spare key for her apartment), so I walked around the Opera House, through the Botanical Gardens, and the National Gallery (conveniently free in the rain!). I'll soon be wandering down Oxford St, which, like its namesake, is full of shops. I'm considering a meat pie for lunch. Or a sausage roll.
