wake up early! Paul drove me to Sydney airport. He was going to... don't
remember, actually. Domestic, anyway. I presented myself to the Emirates
airline office (D.N.A. is right: you can't map an airport, had to ask for
directions, just once only because there were arrows everywhere): I can carry
two pieces of baggage (plus hand-baggage), total weight up to 28Kg. Discovered
that they overbooked a bit: 202/183 in economy class. Must remember to confirm.
train to Sydney Central ($10! argh!). found the hostel, made reservation. It's
quite distant from circular quay, but it's cheap. on my way to circular quay
stopped at various shops, even closed ones. must return to: computer center
(hay rd), and maybe dymocks (bought Stapledon, Heinlein, Adams, but the only
copy they had of if the beginning was the command line was ruined). bought also
an ilustbook, cowbow bebop chars.
found Dennys Opera Quay, have to buy ticket there; next time around.
caught train to wollongong. to note: australian trains have reversible seats;
you can turn tha back of the seat upside-down, to make the seat face one way or
the other. directions in the train station are (if possible) less in number and
more obscure than at the airport, had to ask directions to find the tracks!
