Day 4 - Sydney

We woke up at 11am, instead of 9am. It was raining outside, we did not have much incentives to go out. I did not have any back pain anymore in Linda's bed – that was miraculous. It was very generous to give us her bed: it was a well-sized antique bed with a thick mattress. Linda is living with her sister, her niece and her cat in a 5 bedrooms house with two lounges and bathrooms – the house is quite spacious. We left for Sydney by train at 3pm, arrived at 4.20pm, very tired for me. We walked from Central to the botanic garden, through the Hyde park and came back to a block close to Central to meet Nozomi's friend. We had St Valentine's day in a good Japanese restaurant. We went to Darling Harbour first, walked to the Rocks (oldest district of Sydney) and went to Kings Cross (old Red light district) which is now a hype / club street. We had a drink and a bit food and then left at 12.30pm (running under the rain) to get the train at 1am, just on time. Linda picked us up at the Campbell station at 2.30am. We bought her a geisha doll to thank her because she really likes the movie “memoirs of a geisha”.
