OK Safely made the 14 hour flight from San Fran to Sydney. Not too much interesting happened on the plane I just tried to sleep as much as possible and eat and drink whenever they offered me food. I got a shuttle bus to take me down town and then I went and found a hostel, dropped off my stuff and went to do a little exploring. I walked to the big park around noon time and it was crazy how many games of pick up soccer were taking place. The weather today was perfect maybe 80 degrees and mainly sunny. I also saw loads of noon runners which made me very envious since I am unable to run at the moment while I deal with some foot blisters and such. I also saw a few guys running with swimming goggles around thier necks...I was curious where they were headed to swim. I kept on and found the outdoor lap pool located right on the harbor overlooking the naval yard.....I looked into it they have what would be similar to a master swim practice over lunch and you can pay $6 to swim in pool for one day. I walked around the rest of the park and saw the Opera house from a couple of different views. I think I might head to the beach tomorrow and leave the inner city behind. I am staying in a room with a girl from Estonia (Mari Lee) who is at the end of her 2 year work visa she has done housekeeping, fruit picking. and fruit packing.
