Humans are creatures of habit. I am a human, therefore I am a creature of habit.
After a night of barely any sleep, and a full day at the cricket (and the prospect of a long day of driving the next day), what better way to end the evening than with a few beers? Even though Sophie and her friends were pretty knackered after sitting in the sun all day, they were keen to hit their local pub for a couple.
The Coogee Bay Hotel is just a short walk down the hill from Sophie’s place (and a middling to difficult stagger back up it, depending on how long you stay there). Sean and I walked back to our hotel from the cricket, showered up and, using Sophie’s excellent directions, found the pub with no problem.
It’s always tough to blog about stuff that happened a few days ago, especially if there is more stuff to blog about right afterwards. So here is a roughly chronological account of the road trip to Sydney…
Chris and I got back from Sydney early today. Lots of pictures and hopefully stories will follow this week. Sophie, if you read this, can you e-mail me the pictures from the Cricket and Coogie Beach Hotel. Peace to you all.
This after I took a stroll up the hill from Taringa towards Toowong.
It’s Sunday morning in Brisbane, Australia. Chris and I just returned from a game of tennis with the newly returned Ging (she spent 2 weeks in Viet Nam and Cambodia).
Having never been to the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), I didn’t really know what to expect. It’s located walking distance from the center of Sydney and right next to the Sydney Football Stadium (called Aussie Stadium these days).
I had some old pictures on my camera that we never shared from Christmas and Boxing Day or thereabouts.
We are all getting ready for some new adventures in the new year.
Yes its 2004 and we’re all conscious.
