Sydney - Day 2

---

We got in at 04:30 and for cheese and crackers, finally crashing at 6.
Woke at 11:30 and had tea, toast and marmalade

Was sunny and warm, but when we finally got ready and went out for a walk at 14:00, it was starting to rain 😞
turned into heavy rain with thunder 😞!
So we dived in to StarBucks on George St whilst the rain was clearing up.

Had a walk through Hyde Park, past St Mary's Cathedral and into the Botanic Gardens
Saw loads of flying foxes in the trees and continued to the Opera House, Harbour bridg and got the train to Town Hall from Circular Quay (only 2 stops but feet were aching).

Went to World Square shopping centre and bought new swimming goggles (was being hopeful)
and had Spicy chicken and chips at Nandos

Slept between 20:00ish and 23:45 ish
Debated whether to go out, but couldn't get motivated so had cheese and crackers in bed - coz we can!
Then couldn't get back to sleep.
