Monday Dec 1
At the beach. Wake up, eat breakfast, pack for day in Sydney. Try to lock door, door lock broken, man fixes, drive to train station, finally find parking, purchase tickets and ride train to Sydney.
At the main train station we buy two lattes and get on the hop on, hop off bus, stop at Darling Harbour, take lots of pictures, then we catch a ferry to Circle Key and change to another ferry heading to Manley Beach. The wind is howling and the sand is blowing hard. When we turn around we are glad we brought our rain jackets as a dark storm is headed towards us.
We take the two ferry rides back then join up with the tourist bus again and take it around the rest of the downtown before heading back. We pick up lattes and jump on a train to Wollongong. Unfortunately it is the milk run and it takes almost two hours, nineteen stops later. We would have had to wait for the fast train, so we made it in about the same time.
The rain started and it continued all night. This is the first full rainstorm we have experienced since we arrived. The electrical storm lasted three or more hours and was in close proximity. The power flickered only once. We were worried that the river behind us would flood and looked out the back door to see that it was three times the size it had been earlier in the day. Guess what I dreamt about!!! We did prepare before we went to bed, so we could hop into clothes and leave in a hurry, but it wasn't necessary, thank goodness!!
