HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

quick and painless
It has rained today. A lot. From the time I got up this morning until about 10 minutes ago, it has been wet, cold and miserable.
As such it has prevented me from achieving all that I wanted to do today. I am not happy. I made it to Olympic Park, but because our public transport is positively futuristic compared to Sydney's, it took me over 3 hours to do a 12 km journey by train. Wish I had taken the ferry again!
When I got there I wanted to do the tour, but I had missed that by ten minutes and because its not peak season, there wasn’t one for another 80 minutes.
Still I had a wander round the complex (what I could get to) and it was all very nice. Coming back was a bit more straightforward, as I did the complete opposite of what I had done to get there. I used my common sense instead of their signs! It only took me an hour to get back to city, and after a walk round a few shops, I'm back at the hotel.
I'm disappointed with my day here, and what Ive seen of Sydney as a whole. Yes, there are some great sights, and the bridge climb was amazing, but Ive not been overwhelmed like other places.
Uluru calls me. I hope its dry there!!
