Where was I... At the zoo. I went in the cable cars, saw eagles, saw their camp critter show, which had an owl, a sea lion, a dog, a porcupine, and they had a good patter so I learnt things. I had a pecan apple cinnamon muffin with coffee for breakfast, checked out the outback section, saw koalas and a wallaby and the had BBQ ribby things at the Sydney cafe. Meh. The I got lost a lot and saw lots of greenery on the escalators and wandered helplessly... Lol may I recommend next time for any one going to buy a ticket for the hop on hop off bus? Would have made things much easier lol.
Came home and swam and spa'd which was lovely, and then got really dressed up cos it was Halloween and I was determined to do dinner and dance in Hillcrest. Except... We found a really good Italian resturaunt, and after the class of verminer wine, the huge bowl off fritto misto, gamborini back squid ink pasta and red schnapper with olives, capers, tomato sauce and free tiramisu and coffee... There was no chance of going anywhere else, and Carol was already exhausted. So no dancing for me, though we did see lots of people in costume. We enjoyed the meal but the only thing we finished was the tiramisu! We did enjoy the food. Us it was very rich and huge and we knew we had dessert coming.
So we went him, finished the packing we could, and attempted to sleep. I didn't have much luck with that, I kept thinking of lovely things and how much I was ready to come home and hug my family. I wondered if the coffee truly had been decaf, but there's not much point arguing abut it hours after I have left the resturaunt :)
We got to the airport today and they couldn't find our booking! Anyway, that all got sorted pretty quick and iit's the first day of nano in Australia, and here I am writing. Mega four part blog post.band you know what? Fuckkit, I am going to add these posts into my word count dammit.
