[Photos above: Bondi Beach, ominous clouds over Tamarama Beach]
I have been actually been doing well with public transit. The hotel is between two major train stops so I was able to walk to the hotel from Wynyard station when I came from the airport. Then I walked to Town Hall station to catch a train to Bondi Junction and then took a bus from there to Bondi Beach. Tomorrow (weather permitting) I'll walk to the Circular Quay to take a ferry to Manley Beach. I passed Circular Quay on the way from the airport. The train was above ground there so I got a good view of the Sydney Harbour bridge.
I did well with the hotel too. I was upgraded to a suite on the top (15th) floor. I have a living area, desk, microwave, mini-fridge, and walk-in closet. I should have asked if I could stay in a smaller room and get a harbour view as the view is nothing to write home about. But the hotel is very nice, in a good area, with a lot of attentive staff.
Once I get back to the hotel I will clean up and head out to Star City for some evening entertainment (blackjack). I will probably eat dinner at the casino as I think there are a few options there.
It's raining again...luckily I saw it coming this time. The ominous clouds were hard to miss. I did my coastal walk from Bondi enroute to Bronte when I figured I better abort. I stopped at Tamarama and found a bus shelter. I took shelter just as the downpour started, complete with thunder and lightning this time. The good news: I'm dry and the bus that comes to this shelter actually goes to Bondi Junction, the train station I need to get to to get back downtown. The bad news: I have to wait 50 minutes or so for the bus. Oh well, not too bad all things considered.
