Day 12 ~ Adventures

OK today has been awesome after yesterdays debarcle. After posting that I was off to do the ropey chipper the stars and planets aligned to work against me. Long story short I never made it. Ah well but today a new chapter.

I flew to Sydney this morning to attend a work meeting......... tomorrow, which meant today I was free to do as I pleased. The day started well with the pre-booked cab on time and airport traffic minimal. On arrival I looked at the queues and decided I wouldn't check my bag but carry it onboard. Today the gods were happy because on presenting myself at the service counter (I had an exit row seat) I was told the plane for my flight had changed and I was no longer in an exit row. This however was a good thing because her next sentence was how we you like to leave earlier? Five minutes later I was boarding, a whole extra hour of shopping awaited. On arrival at the  hotel prepared to stow my bag I was greeted with your room is ready now, yay. So unpacked and settled it was off to explore, the weather was unpleasant so decided to stay away from harbour and water and confine my wandering to the city. I adjourned to a coffee shop to warm up and get my bearings, on unfurling my tourist map the woman seated at the next table started a conversation with me giving my tips and directions of where to go and what to see. As the conversation continued I discovered I was chatting with a Kings Cross Madam, she was a wealth of information and history and an hour later I finally went on my way. I enjoyed a full day walking, shopping and exploring including Paddys Markets and lunch in China Town. My food intake today has been Paleoish with milk in my coffee and my lunch time seafood laska had noodles ( which I actually left consuming the seafood/veges and broth). Dinner was a takeout from near the hotel Chilli coconut fish with eggplant ~ delish though strange looks when I requested no rice. So many choices for food. No WOD today but I am sure I had things pretty much covered with all my walking, most of it into a headwind. I knew the winds had been strong when nearly knocked off my feet by sudden gusts during the day but until I saw the evenings news reports of roofs being blown off did I realise how strong they were. Think it will be good to be indoors tomorrow out of the wind and rain.
Have a fabulous  weekend everyone
