Zac is spending this last week mostly with family up north so I now can also have a well deserved break from touring. I wander a new unwalked district in the morning and then in the afternoon lay around the pool at the St Georges Yacht Club and read and order food and drinks. In the evening I go to the movies. Nice.
Little things I have noticed while here. Firstly people are generally shorter than me - gotta love that. Guys ride bikes around street ring bells and selling bread with baked in handles and people drink date juice as much as orange juice. Everywhere including around the pool people are smoking nargilas. People drive to shops, restaurants, bars etc - they just stop at front door, hold up all traffic behind then and give keys and $2 to some kid to sort out the parking issue and traffic mess behind them. Car parks often have mirrors on trolleys, just to check under the car to ensure it is not going to blow every one up.
