As I set out this morning I wasn’t sure exactly what my plans were. I had some idea that they may involve a museum or gallery or maybe a ferry.
I caught the bus to Circular Quay since I feel a trip here is incomplete without the bridge and Opera House. I was there somewhat early (before 9) and the crowds were thin.
I was tired. I had woken tired. Plus the heat was back, and after only a brief amount of walking I felt myself running out of steam. I headed over to the rocks and walked under the bridge toward Darling Harbour.
Turns out this was a fools errand, and rather than a waterfront shortcut I quickly found myself in a concrete maze with no breeze. The heat was overwhelming.
I eventually found my way to Darling Harbour, but when I arrived I was just too tired and skipped the maritime museum. I’d been walking for hours and headed back to Randwick for packing and a rest.
I ate so much today! This is unusual since I try my very best to eat little before the trip but I was just so hungry. The apple slice you see above rekindled my engines, and in the mid afternoon I visited a nearby mall (Eastgardens) to check it out and get some AC.
I never dispelled my exhaustion entirely though, and when Adam got back later in the day he found me asleep on his couch.
We played some magic (the squirrel deck is fun!) and watched Robocop (a nothing film). And so ended my last full day on this trip.
