Took a bus out to mantraville, where i walked half of a mile in the pouring rain. Did not even bother opening up the surfboard bag to see if it was ok. Called a cab, to get back to the hostel. Laurie was waiting in the entry area, reading her book and looking very warm. I was soaked through to the bone and cold. Thats what i get for riding a 9 foot board.
We got dressed up for our last night in australia and headed out on the town. Had a few beers at the oldest pub in sydney , down near the harbor. We then had dinner at the 4 seasons. We were given a gift certificate as a wedding gift. I enjoyed the sweetbreads, which laurie would not try. Laurie loved the scallops and our lamb was good. We just share everything. I think we look like starving animals when we eat. We can not help but make a mess of the table.
In the morning the cab showed up as planned, we loaded on the surfboards and off we went. At the airport its never easy. We took our boards lugging them around to one place then another, then we were told the wrong directions and had to walk back across the airport, all worrying that our flight was boarding in ten minutes. THrough customs we went. Laurie having forgot to pack some bottles in our luggage, was very upset to lose her dial antibacterial body wash and her hawaiian tropics sun screen. The angry side of laurie was coming out on this poor airport man. I took a step away. So in all we lost facial wash, body soap, sun tan lotion, and a 12 dollar bottle of red wine.
We were flying on air new zealand , but we did not know what to expect. We get on board, and it is the nicest airplane we have ever been on. THere coach is uniteds first class. Oh how we got screwed over having to fly united from LA to sydney. I am definately writing a letter. I watched a movie on my personal tv, while laurie danced to techno and read her new book, Laine beachleys , how i became a world surf champion.
We took a bus to our hostel, and took a walk out to the city center. Found a cheap little indian place . Good night for our first night. I got us lost getting back to our hostel, and its ice cold.
in the morning we took a cab to our campervan place
