Woo, well I took a long walk today after I decided to go and buy linen and carried on walking. The only reason I’m in here is because my legs are knackered!

I walked from my flat upto Hyde Park to the war memorial, then up one of the roads running parallel to to the CBD until I stumbled across the Opera House (and Harbour Bridge). Because I’d initially gone out to buy linen I didn’t have my camera with me so I don’t have any pics!

Despite the lack of cam (it’s been a cloudy day and I’ll be going back anyway) it was cool. The actual Opera House is covered in white tiles that have, over the years of wind battering and general sea air, being turned a kind of brown colour. I was surprised at the state of it really, as it’s not that clean at all. The offices are situated around the front (or rear? – I don’t know which is the front) with semi-darkened windows, but you can see the workers in there picking their noses, and random plates of uneaten food lying about. I overheard one pissed off Aussie lady saying “this is a fucking disgrace! This country is full of dickheads!” which I thought was a bit much. It was only a dirty plate.

The Harbour Bridge on the other hand looks pretty cool. It’s massive, and the people climbing it look like ants. That’ll be me soon – I’ve always wanted to climb it but I’ll wait ’til I have company. It’ll look pretty cool at night I reckon if it gets lit up, as will the harbour which plays host to some giant cruise ships and cafes along the edges. It’s a groovy place!
