Bumming around Sydney and the match

Didn't do a whole lot today except wander around Sydney. Took a taxi boat from Darling Harbour to Milsons Point and took a few more photos from that side of the water...



Then we walked over the harbour bridge and wandered around a bit more before catching a boat to Manly for some ice-cream. On the way back we passed a Health Insurance advertising stand offering free health screening and for some reason we thought it would be funny to get a test. Matt was a complete wuss about it, scared it would hurt him so he forced me to go first. We decided on a cholesterol test, and Matt was pretty confident his would be better than mine -- after all he's far fitter and eats a bit healthier than me. Imagine his surprise when mine was too low to get a reading and his was just under the recommended maximum. Ha ha! He was very grumpy about it! A bit of a strange thing to do on holiday though...

We had to have a restful evening (to be ready for the big match) so we cooked in the hostel (spag bol) before relaxing in the room for a few hours. Around 11 we headed to pub for the match (it wasn't starting until nearly 3am but we had to make sure we got in). It was a very long and very disappointing night. By the time we rolled out of the pub it was fully bright and almost 7am. Tired!
