Monday 30th January, Sydney, Darling Harbour and Circular Quays

So it's Monday and its up with the lark, (the blighters gets up really early here). Would you believe it?, we're in time for breakfast. Right, its Monday and we can get things done,, everything is open, so back to real life. Out the door and into town to pick up a wireless dongle for the laptop and a new Ozzy Sim card for Lin. (I ain't told her it won't vibrate when she puts it on her boob (thats where she keeps her fone !!!), so we might be back for another phone). Well, we're out so we might as well find out were the boats gonna dock. The paperwork says its gonna be Sydney harbour and the boats called the Hyundai Mercury, so things should be easy and off we go. Down at the harbour and not a boat in site. Ok, not a problem, we'll find the customs office. Once again, we're off. Not a bleeding sight of a customs officer. Lucky enough,(huh!) we bump into two old sea dogs, "no worries mate", (they really do say that) its that tower, just the other side of the harbour, bout a 15 minute walk" F**k me, we walked sodding miles. Its 80' in the shade and Lins puffing and panting like a good one.  If ever I bump into those two old gits again, I swear I'll see if they can do the horn pipe with six foot of oar up their ar*e's.  To cap it all, the customs office only opens when theres a cruse liner in. Guess what? theres no frigging cruse liner in. We've had enough, so burned to a crisp, we carry on walking and guess what appears? Yep, Sydney bridge and the Opera house. The oppo house is not as outstanding as we thought, but it is a bloody long walk from where we are stayin. We head back to hotel at a pace a snail would laugh at and i guess after walking some 4-5 miles in total,........
Finally we're in the hotel and I can't wait for a long, cool shower. I get me kit off only to find I've got another set of clothes on underneath, only this lot is bright white. I look in the mirror and where me head should be, is a giant Ribeaner berry with  a nose on. Something tells me, this is gonna hurt tomorrow
After a lot of cooling down, its off out again. (Figured we may as well keep moving while we can). Saw a nice restaurant while we were out (the Blackbird) and thought we'd give it a go. Lin has a go at the steak with a Cesar salad (misses wendys) and Im gonna have a bash at the kangaroo rump steak in orange sauce.
Well I can't really tell you what Skippy's arse taste's like, Co's the orange was a bit overpowering, so I'll know better next time. Be warned Skippy, Im coming for ya!!!!!!.
Right, its been a very very long day, so back to base, and fire off a few emails before we hunt for the land of nod without touching each other as we are both burnt to a crisp. Night all

Hey you lot, Is Carol(happy birthday carol) the only one reading this thing??????, here's me, wearing me two fingers to the bone, banging this thing out (if you've ever seen me type you'll know what I mean)  so leave a note Only if its to say hi, you can do this using the comment bit at the end of each blog.
