Titus here in Australia. Made it safe and sound to Sydney in the wee hours of the morning. We lost a day because of the International Date Line but will gain it back on our journey home. A taxi brought us to the Park Lodge Hotel, where we settled down for a bit and checked in before heading out and exploring the city.

The public transportation here is excellent, though there’s a fair amount of walking that still needs to be done. Took a train up from Central Station to the Circular Quay near the northeast harbor. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House are both located there. Fantastic architecture. Grabbed a quick take away bite at a nearby Indonesian restaurant on Cleveland St. Dad and I are pretty jet-lagged out so we spent the evening walking around the peaceful Moore Park that is just across the street.
