14th
Day 1: I survived the Qantas flight.
Highlight(s) of the day:
1. Seeing Yana & Yulia.
2. Dad being real nice and understanding to me.
3. Playing Yana’s piano with Yana.
Today’s Travels:
Auckland to Sydney.
Today’s Kai:
[Breakfast] Chicken wrap, can of V, cuppa tea.
[Lunch] Sofrito some-name-I-can’t-remember, at the new Spanish place in Elliot Stables and a cup of Jasmine Iced Tea served by that rather attractive shopkeeper at Aaah Teas at the Stables (yum).
[Tea] McDonald’s (travesty, but cheap).
[Dinner] Stir fried fish and noodles courtesy of Qantas Airways and a rather tasty Pinot Grigio.
[2nd Dinner] Pizza in Camperdown, Sydney. Huzzah. And a G&T, Mojito and CC&Dry.
Today’s $$$ Spend:
Healthy (spend) - AUD$125 rather depleted now, for taxi from Airport to Yana’s and some duty free gifts for Yana & family for letting me sleep on the (ridiculously comfortable) couch.
Thoughts:
It’s the first day of my grand adventure. Okay. Alright. So its really not that big an adventure. It is however, my first proper holiday in almost four years. So I figure I can pretty much call it whatever the heck I want. The day started out normal, progressing into a hellish afternoon (timesqueeze) then a relatively uneventful flight (good thing) and finally, FREEDOM. I’m looking forward to tomorrow. There will be piccies.
