Day two was a bit uneventful for me. I went to a customer meeting, though we got lost on the way and were late for it. Other meetings did not happen, so I spent the rest of the workday answering email and doing conference calls at the office.

I did venture out alone, which was something I was looking forward to doing. I walked the six blocks or so from the office to my hotel, finally learning to find my way around the city. After relaxing a bit in the hotel, I ventured out again, this time taking a cab to The Rocks for dinner. After a nice (if bony) snapper dinner, I walked around this historical area before making my way to the train station. I took a short tram ride back to the hotel which cost me $2.20AUD. It was simple and cheap: a great way to see the city. Now I’m confident I can navigate this place alone, which opens up many possiblities.

I took no pictures yesterday as I spent it working, though I did ride across the famous Harbour Bridge one time (not the photographic event I expected, actually). The weather was cloudy and cooler, too, accounting for Cyclone Larry which hit well north of here. If I go out tonight, I’ll take some pictures of the downtown area at night as it really is enchanting. I couldn’t help but imagine seeing this place through the eyes of someone stepping off a boat after an eight month voyage.

I’ve got a busy day with training today, followed by drinks with the partners. It should be both fun and exhausting. It’s the beginning of day three for me here and I’m still going strong.
