Journal Entry:
Left the Hunter reasonably early and was back in Sydney before noon. Spent more than an hour trying to find parking downtown - I'd forgotten about Sydney's traffic. Went buy the travel agent to pick up my tickets which had been sent down from Darwin. Fifteen tickets in all: Sydney - Melbourne - Singapore - Colombo - Dubai - Cairo - Nairobi - Dar es Salaam - Nairobi - Cairo - Dubai - Tehran - Dubai - Bangkok - Taipei - Darwin. Though that lineup will probably change (it's doubtful that I'll be able to get a visa for Iran). Wandered around the city center and did some shopping - picked up a guide book for Sri Lanka, a few novels, and a couple CDs.

Hit the Internet for an hour, then met up with Susie and Belinda for dinner and what turned into a pretty big night.
