sydney-day 3

Day 3
didn't wake up until 1:00 in the afternoon - fabulous, and yet somehow I am still tired, oh boy

Lizzy’s apartment has the world's most amazing shower, it could revive the dead, which is good because that is just about what i was. (it is one of those 'sunflower' shower heads - heaven!!!) AND she has the scariest bathroom light ever!! it is straight from a horror movie, where it flickers and flashes and then when it fully comes on there is a big scary monster waiting to eat you...Yikes!

we pulled ourselves together by around 4:00pm and drifted back into the city so that I could take some pictures with my 'real' camera. poor Lizzy, i am absolutely no fun when i am shooting, i dont talk or anything i get so focused. after making her suffer for about an hour it was time to move on to her friends house for dinner.

this time on our way into the city we took the train (why i decided to get a car i am not sure, i haven't gotten back in it since i got here...oh well) and the signs at the station are great. like:
'way out'
'no rubbish'
'mind the gap'
absolute favorite ‘Manly Ferry’ makes me laugh every time i see it :)
good stuff!! :)

Lizzy’s friends had us to dinner and they made the MOST BRILLIANT chinese food that i have ever had. squid and tomatoes in a ginger sauce, fish and cabbage and spicy peppers, followed by apple scones for dessert. WOW and she just 'whipped' this up when she got home...oh, boy! I also got to try an australian original, veggimite. hmmm, glad i tried it - dont ever want any more, ever-ever. it is a thick brown paste, that tastes like saltwater cheese....i gulped down half a glass of wine to kill the taste...or at least that is my story and i am sticking to it :)

3 glasses of wine later and jet lag hits again (not that the wine had anything to do with it of course!), i am all but falling asleep in my plate. (not very polite) so Lizzy and i head for home, where i fall asleep on the bus again, i hope this doesn't become a habit! boy, am i an entertaining house guest!!

forget walking back to the house! taxi!!!

time to crash with new adventures awaiting us tomorrow.
