A very hot difficult day 23 November 2014

now then this is a lesson in beware of what you wish for Unlike back home the weather is very hot and humid even more so today,  but I decided that I would go into the city last night to photograph it at night from the ferry,  but got lost, had sandles on for a change so ended up with blisters, made worse by the fact I got lost walked much further than I should then just missed the ferry(well thats not so bad you all think but it gets better ) I should of just been able to cross over and return, no such luck so stuck there with poorly feet for an hour, never mind tomorrow is another day.


so today Sunday I was packed and ready for the off ordered a taxi for the airport, blisters still very painful. Trip ok got some blister plasters,  went to check in, oh I forgot to say normally I would of been able to use the ferry and train but not working due to engineering works. Got to check in young woman said could not find my booking asked for itinerary informed me i was a day early, checked she was right, ooops rang hotel they had noticed but could not get in touch, but room free. Now got free bus into town so as to catch ferry, what a mistake, so did everybody else and Sydney was hot and full, finally got back here after 2 hours, now exhausted foot painful  cannot walk so lying here to hot typing this,  wish I was home, worse I have to do it all again tomorrow.

This was a good time to catch up with various websites and e mails plus to do this blog, sorry I am not really that bad just frustrated with my feet, life could be much worse, plus had a chat with Jane and felt much better for that. But then decided eould go to the village for something to eat so sorted out shower and foot, another issue when on your own who dresses your foot if you need help, but got there, then off I went, in the end decided to try a pizza, went in went,  Rob had warned me about the mans attitude, still hard to accept, went into restaurant section and young ladies very helpful, pizza was good, went to pay man, still rubbish attitude and overpriced just as well not need to go back again. Got some bits for tomorrow just in case returned tried to watch film as foot still very painful but kept falling asleep. Believe it or not next we had heavy rain storm but not any cooler,  for a change had another chat with Jane before packing case for tomorrow.
