Me and big trees
Since it was Silja´s last night here she wanted to buy me a nice dinner, and I decided to get us some dessert :) It was raining and when we got the Redfern (the closest train station to Geegal) and we found out there were some railway constructions going on and most trains were substituted by busses. So after taking a train to Central Station we had to take a bus to Circular Quay. We found a nice restaurant there and sat upstairs facing the harbour, overlooking the ferry station. I had a delicions meal with marinated prawns and rice! I just really enjoy eating at nice restaurants. After our main courses we wanted to get some Kogenhagen Ice Cream but the kiosk had been closed a couple of minutes before we got there. So we went to this Italian restaurant and probably drove the waiter nuts ordering the cheapest possible gelato they had. It tasted good, though, had we got to sit on a nice table outside eating it. Since the weather wasn´t that great we decided to head home and go to bed.
We had planned to go see the Dragonboat Race of Chinese New Year on Sunday morning but since we had had such a long day on Saturday we just slept in and had a lazy morning before Silja had to leave to catch her flight. I took her to Redfern. Carla and I had thought of going to see the dragonboats but we decided not to because it was raining. I went for a run instead. I found Centennial Park alright but couldn´t find my way back home :/ I guess it wasn´t too bad after all running for a bit longer. (I went running there today, too, and got lost again on my way back. But I blame the people I asked for help because they kept telling me to go the wrong way.) It felt kind of weird not having Silja here anymore. Because we had been doing so much all the time I had felt like a tourist in Sydney, as well. In a way I had this empty feeling that you have when something that you´ve been looking forward to has just ended. But at the same time I was a little tired and felt like starting to do normal things: studying, seeing my flatmates etc... So all in all I´m happy I got some major sightseeing done before the start of the semester.
Yey! I´ve finally written everything about THE tourist week :D Once I write about my first week of lectures I´ll have catched up with this blog. But now I gotta go to bed, so I´ll do it tomorrow...
