No Posts Lately. Been Ill.

I felt really tired and worn down on Friday night after going to the Sydney Aquarium that day with Hannah and Chelsey from Essex U.K. These two are a laugh riot, I kept telling them that they needed to have their own show. They were constantly teasing each other and telling the best/worst stories about each other and then trying to out do the other with who did the worst thing after drinking. Anyway, we got home after being on the go since about 10 AM until 5 PM. We went to dinner and then I went back to the dorm room to lie down. I was beat. About an hour later they come into the room with a burst of laughter and arguing, as they do everywhere, and kept haranguing me to come out and dance with them. No, no, I'm tired and getting a headache. Please, come on, we'll buy the first shout (round of drinks, which you are supposed to reciprocate). Who am I to deny women who want to buy me drinks and dance with me? I'm just not that strong. Needless to say the next day I felt like utter shit. I got some kind of flu. Fever and achey joints, but my appetite is fine. Go figure. I feel better today, but I'm not over it yet. But I couldn't let my blog readers down, now could I? Hannah and Chelsey.
The Sydney Aquarium. A great place to spend the day. At the end of the walk through there is a very large tank with all kinds of fish including sharks, rays, and other big ass fish. It was worth the price of admission.
Believe it or not, but this is a Ford Falcon. These car/truck things are all over the place. I'm surprised Ford hasn't tried to sell these in America again. I like them.
This is my friend Mathias (Mah-tay'-is) of Hamburg Germany. We did quite a bit of traveling around together while he was in Sydney. We first met while in Maui and ran into each other at the Sydney Airport. He is doing a literal around the world trip and his ticket cost him about $2600 U.S.

Regardless of the recent illness I've really been enjoying my stay in Sydney. As soon as I am well enough I plan to either buy or long term rent (they call hire) a motorcycle and tour this big country. We'll see how it works out.

Thanks for all your comments and support it's all really appreciated. Even the ones from Mary. But what are sisters for huh? Love ya Mary!
