Days 2 and 3 are done and dusted. We’ve settled into our little apartment and things are good. We’ve got everything we need for an extended stay, but it must be said that the bathroom is comedically small. I have to sit at about 45° when using the toilet otherwise I’ll knock the sink off of the wall! It’s interesting being able to rest my chin on the sink when taking care of the morning ablutions.

Locationwise, we are very well situated. We are just 3 mins slow walk to the hospital, directly across the road from a NightOwl and a brisk walk to the beach.

We are right in the corner of an interesting 5 way intersection. It must be very confusing as horns are always going day and night. I’ve never heard anything like it except in Vietnam. There are plenty of Asians in the area, but they can’t be the ones causing all of the horn work.

We strolled down to Coogee beach today. Very choppy. I was keen to take some photos, but I must have left my tripod at home. I’ll get properly motivated later and try and get some nice shots. I have been motivationally challenged due to having a Cold. Sore throat, ticklely ears and headaches, oh boy!

While down at the beach, two “gentlemen” were having a lively debate about money. Apparently one of them spent all of their combined money on prostitutes. Judging by their demeanor, a not so small chunk was also spent on beer. The aggrieved party wanted his mate to call the police and have them visit every prostitute in Coogee(!) to get his money back. Must have been one hell of a bender. Charlie Sheen would be proud.

Randwick is blessed with many, many restaurants. While not planning to eat out that often, I’ll post some mini reviews. I’ll knock one up for Arthur’s Pizza later.
