Warren and I are finally downunder. If I had to hear one more,ARE WE THERE YET?, I was going to toss him out the door. With a bit of chemical assistance, I was able to sleep through half of the long flight to Sydney. I was sure out of it though when we transferred planes. Sydney was a very blurry city. I vaguely remeber seeing the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as we came in, or maybe it was a dream. Warren and I were able to split up on the plane and enjoy a bit more room. We met our fourth relay partner(Dave Hendersen) on the trip from Sydney to Perth. He was travelling with his water polo group.
We landed in clear weather, but it has been raining just about every minute since. It is warm though! Our house ,we are staying in, is very cute, and just 5-10 minutes from the pool. The pool site is spectacular. Three X 50 meter pools and 2 X 25 yard pools. I think we need a complex like this in Santa Rosa. Warren and I took a dip in the indoor pool yesterday. We were both relieved we still knew how to swim. Warren has done all of the driving and I have done all of the screaming. Every right-hand turn is a near death experience. I am glad I am not behind the wheel. Hopefully it will be easier after a few more days. I promise to include some pictures in my next report. Until then.
Happy swimming and no worries,
John
