Sydney Today 20 November 2014 I Think

Today was not to early a start so tidied the room had something to eat and drink and finished packing. Coach arrived on time 10 30am was only a short journey to the airport, then usual ritual of checking in whilst in the queue a woman tried to push past so I commented,  she said she was trying to get to her husband who was at the front of the queue,  I said not a problem but would been nice if she had said excuse me,  group of american men were nodding to my comment, why are so many people so rude these days, as usual explained help I needed particularly when got to Sydney, woman said it was all sorted out, at the gate I was last to board as young woman used buggy to get me to the plane, settled and off we went. Now on the flight there we were provided with a meal and drinks free but not on this flight, only drinks, which is odd as it was a longer flight. After a while I needed to go to the toilet, but there seemed there was a problem with the 2 of them that number ones were ok but not no 2s, well luckily I wanted ones, now it seems very bad to me that a flight with so many passengers on did not have a working toilet,  I am now thinking of writing in for their comments.
Well we eventually reached Sydney and disembarked only problem no chair to help me to exit. I went to Virgin Atlantic desk and explained seems nobody had booked it, so man at desk took me through airport to baggage as was only a short distance to taxis.i explained to the driver where I was going and route, he seemed confused but eventually we got to the destination ok.

I was shown round and had forgotten that firstly there was no air con only a fan that did nothing other than move the air, the toilets and showers were shared but on the good side there was a communal kitchen with cereals bread and hot drinks plus fruit, only thing is nobody seemed to be speaking to other guests. I unpacked yet again, then decided to go for a meal the owner Rob suggested a number of places but particularly the sailing club so off I set, unfortunately given the heat humidity and my lack of energy it was a long walk. Eventually I reached it but found out I needed to be a temporary member so sorted that then went to order my meal, well just then the noise increased tremendously, oh no it was BINGO the last thing I needed, luckily they had a veranda which was peaceful and quiet the meal was pleasant but after I decided to return to the accommodation relax and do some work on the blog which was getting behind,  I cannot have you readers disappointed.  Well again the owner sat there eating his meal and a couple of other sets of people but nobody said hello or acknowledged each other or myself,  all very odd,  maybe someone had warned them what a chatterbox I can be LOL,  so I eventually had enough so went to my room to relax and went to sleep thinking about what to do tomorrow,  well sadly I remembered I needed to do some laundry first, so much for being on holiday.
