Getting the Hump

Sunday -
Got in at 5am this morning.
That sounds good, but I'm a mere amateur compared to Eve and Gavin, who got back at about 11am !! Heroic stuff...
Took advantage of Phil and Martins whale watching voucher today.
Fortunately it was nice and sunny.
Unfortunately I had virtually no sleep, and a hangover.
Eve decided to come along, which turned out to be a bad idea, as she got pretty seasick.
I had a great time, however. The sea air sorted out my hangover, and we got to see some humpback whales really close up.
They didn't really do anything exiting, just a bit of swimming, diving and blowing spouts.
Monday -
Didn't do much today, just booked my train to Melbourne (tommorrow night) and a few days in a hostel there. Decided to do the other things around Sydney when I come back here at the end of September. Hopefully the weather will be more enticing then.
I think the drinking/jetlag is catching up with me, 'coz I'm really knackered today.
Actually looking forward to spending 11 hours on a train, doing nothing but reading and sleeping!
Rich.

Ricardo!
Glad to see you're spending as much time on your PC as your are seeing the sights of the world... would've expected nothing less! Did you expect whales to do anything other than swimming, diving and blowing spouts? Perhaps a bit of Shakespeare or a poetry recital...?
How's the suntan Casper? Enjoy Melbourne mate... are you going to visit Ramsay Street?
