It's a Meh Day.

Sadly, today was less eventful than yesterday.  As great as being spontaneous was yesterday, I think we need to start planning further in advance.  And dressing warmer.

Around 2, we set off to find the Bondi Beach Markets.  Transport took until about 3:30.  We arrived and walked down to the beach.  It was gorgeous.  No market.  We walked around, saw a young man playing soccer with his pitbull/boxer, and took some photos.  We window-shopped and Lianne and Sarah bought a couple pieces of clothing.  We took a bus back to a mall we’d passed so we could get some warmer clothing for cheap.  We bought milkshakes at Pie Face.  I got chocolate, Lianne got strawberry, Kara got caramel, and Sarah got a diet coke and pot pie.  We took the train back to Central and then caught a bus.  The trains here are really nice.

Snacked for dinner.  Tired now.  Perhaps this is when that mood/emotion graph dips down a bit.  Culture shock/homesickness?  I’m not homesick, but it’s frustrating that an entire day was eaten up by public transport.  I guess Aussies are patient with both the transportation system and the internet, as it takes about an hour to upload each of these blog posts.

Hope I can report back with a bit more chipper news tomorrow!  Will post some beach photos when I’m on the ACU campus tomorrow.

LESSON OF THE DAY: Plan ahead.  Dress warm.  Get out early.
