I decided to book another Airbnb in Sydney. I figure the situation is not going to be solved until the end of April at the earliest. Maybe even that is wishful thinking. But I have hope.
The apartment that I rented looks a whole lot better (and cheaper) than the apartment that I’m currently in. Where I’m staying right now isn’t horrible. It would definitely do for a four or five day trip to Sydney in which you were out and about most of the time. But definitely not the greatest place to be stuck inside.
I have been getting out more the last few days because the weather has cleared up. I’ve been walking around the city for two or three hours at a time in the afternoon, visiting areas I haven’t seen before. If I’m going to be here for a month I might as well see all of the city.
So today I decided to walk to Darling Harbour, the area where I will be staying next. It took about an hour to make the walk there and I’m pretty happy with the neighborhood. It’s right by the water and there are a few fairly sized parks in the area. That’ll be a welcome relief. There aren’t too many parks nearby to where I am staying now.
The new place has a balcony as well. Another blessing. I will be able to get some fresh air whenever I like. It’s the little things like this that make a whole lot of difference. I am excited to get over to this new place. I’m excited to get through this and get back on the road again. I think everyone is ready to get back to their lives at this point.
