Court got up early, about 8:00, I slept in until about 10:30. Court went out to see if she could get her camera fixed (it's FUBAR'd, it has been since Cambodia). When I got up, I showered, had breakfast, signed up to play football (soccer) at 2:00. Our hostel versus another hostel, Cooee Hostel, nearby. Used the internet, watched TV, then at 2:00, joined the group and walked to a close park with tennis courts, soccer fields, cricket pitch, rugby field, etc. lots of grass, all surrounding a very nice marina with logs of sail boats and yachts.
I only played half the game. At half time, a bunch more people showed up, and my toe was totally hosed and bleeding (having jammed it a few times in the soccer match). I walked around the marina for a bit, then back to the hostel about 4:15, met Court in the room, she had been shopping downtown, and bought a very nice black sweater, and she walked around Darling Harbour.
ARound 6:50, Court, myself and Andrew (New Zealand) took subway to Wake Up! hostel (where Anna is) and met Anna and her sister (who had just flown in) and we all went down to Darling Harbour for the fireworks show at 7:30, part of the Jazz Festival that is going on. Fireworks display was quite awesome, better than the Canada Day fireworks in Moose Jaw. :-)
After the fireworks, we went to a lounge along the harbour, had a drink, we all went home. Court to bed about 10:00, I stayed up and went to the TV room, all the Brit's were sitting around the TV, laughing their heads off. They were all watching a British TV show called "The Office", which was quite funny, actually. The premise of the show is, it's supposed to be a documentary of a typical office in Britain somewhere, with camera's following around the employees. Of course, it's not a real documentary, and it is quite funny.
I went to bed about 11:15.
