Journal Entry:
Up way to early. Caught a taxi back tot Susie's car, then she dropped us off at Chris and Sof's car. Very long drive back. At the house poor Chris and Sof had to rush off to work. I decided that if I went to bed the entire day was going to be shot so sat on the couch drinking water and trying to figure out my plans - then woke up over four hours later, still sitting there. Walked in to the city, had lunch, bought shoes, bought another guide book, wandered around and basically got lost - but now I'm starting to understand Sydney. Did some window shopping then hit the internet cafe on my way back.

Chris was off with some work people until late so Sof an I got a pizza and rented a movie. Chris got back in time to watch the movie, and by the time the movie and diner was over I was finally starting to feel like I might live.
