I walked to downtown Sydney today, first for some execise and secondly to see how far it really is. As I write these words I can feel my calf muscles tightening up after the 7 mile walk. Those big buildings seem closer than they really are!
I had as my goal today to get to the Central Rail Station to see what kinds of train transportation this city has. I was impressed with the system called "CityRail". There are several lines which stretch out into the suburbs and the airport. The trains are a mixture of 70's and more modern style. I did not have enough time to ride the length of any one line and had to content myself with only a few station stops. Clearly I'll be back to go the whole of the many routes.
Dinner tonight was in an Italian Restaurant in Randwick. The menu was varied and the food very good. The irony was that the waiter was Chinese and the chef was Viet Namese. Sydney is a city of many, many different cultures for sure. This morning I met one of the people who work here at The Centre. Her name is Marquise and she is from New Caladonea, which is a French possession in the South Pacific. Just about everybody here comes from somewhere else. I think this is why the folks are so friendly and lay back, they have all known what it is like to be strangers in a foreign land. Mofe of than later.
