Back in Sydney for our final days in Oz we are comfortably situated in another backyard cottage at an airbnb rental. This time we are in Narrabeen, and about 300 yards away from our friend's home up the hill (by foot, and it is a hell of a hill!) We arrived on Wednesday night after a combination airline flight, train jaunt, ferry ride, and finally a taxi trip to this place that left us less exhausted than you would think. We even had the energy to pick up some wine and dinner during this multi-stage Oddessy, which helped us settle in with ease. On Thursday morning we went with Ronald, our friend, into the city by means of a large double decker bus that makes limited stops. Not as fast as a train, to be sure, since even a bus must stop at traffic lights, but it was easy enough to get to Paddy's Market, a giantic flea market, cheap Chinese goods, t-shirt emporium, and produce stand. We picked up a couple of souvenirs and then had lunch in the adjacent Chinatown where I had the best fried rice I have enjoyed in many a year.
