SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

I haven't done that much in the past few days, as I've caught a cold (Chris had it a few days ago) and have mostly been trying to catch up on my rest. Tom has been off on his own, checking out the local markets and doing some souvenir-shopping, while Chris, who's much happier away from the city, returned to the Blue Mountains on Friday to do some sort of Aboriginal Walkabout tour. While he was gone, Tom and I had a relaxing day just wandering around the city, napping on the grass in the Botanic Gardens, drinking coffee, and watching crazy cockatoos strip branches from the trees for no apparent reason.
