Managed to stay awake until about 9pm by taking my time eating dinner at a miserable cafe attached to the hostel - never eating there again! Taking a shower and organizing my stuff. Fell into bed right before 9 and hit that too tired to sleep point. Lay with my eyes wide open and then next thing I knew it was 4am and I had to go to the bathroom! The downside is to get in and out of the bathroom and your hostel room you need a key card which I'd locked in my locker and now it was 4 am and my 3 roommates were all asleep. But I managed to get it out and get to the restroom without major problems. Tonight I'll know better and will keep the keycard out.

I'm sleeping in a top bunk of a bunk bed and the woman on the bottom bunk is a restless sleeper and I feel it. I didn't notice ituntil I was up from the bathroom - after that I was sleeping lighter and felt her tossing and turning.

I've already had breakfast and will be heading out soon to go to the Zoo. It's going to be warm here today. It's already 75'F, 24'C with 83% humidity and it's only 8:15 am. It's going to be a warm day -thankfully today I'm ready - old navy tank top, my sun hat, shorts and shoes. I also already have SPF 30 sunscreen that I need to put on. I may not end up with a tan but I'm going to avoid a burn if at all possible.

So Zoo in the morning - not sure what's on tap for the afternoon - maybe a lazy afternoon, not sure, then dinner and opera this evening. Tomorrow I think I'm going to the Chinese Friendship garden and aquarium at Darling Harbor but not sure what else. Probably a little tourist shopping and relaxation in prep for my flight to NZ on Saturday.

Until nextime - G'Day Mates (which btw I have YET to hear anyone outside of TV shows in the US say).
