Australia, Day 15
That picture of the bridge . . . I'm not sure who took it, but it's one of my favourites of the many pictures we took. Not entirely sure what's going on here . . . this one's from the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.
Today's date, 14:06 and then it says, 'Bathurst & Castlereagh' (the name of the branch?) and the amount $200 (roughly
85). Maybe I took this money out when I reached Sydney . . . not really sure. Need more information. And this one doesn't have a time . . . but it was when we checked into the Grand Hotel, Hunter Street, Sydney.
Perhaps this hotel was grand once, but now it was a bit kind of . . . run-down. New buildings had popped up around it
and somewhere I have a picture Rob took from his window. This picture looks a bit like you're looking down some weird,
dark corridor, but he was just pointing the camera downwards. So . . . yes. $462 for three nights accommodation, two
single rooms, which seemed pretty good to us. Like I say, it wasn't amazing there, you didn't have your own shower
or toilet, but these things were nearby. But there was some weird television . . . this channel that showed weird
foreign films . . . Japanese, German, Russian, Asian . . . one in particular I remember . . . a young Japanese couple who
gave this freaky hitchhiker a lift some place . . . but, erm . . . yeah, they somehow managed to lose him (they
thought), but he found them at this diner, and then the girl disappears and the guy freaks out. And, erm . . . yeah.
There was this scene where the hitchhiker was breaking the other guys fingers, saying, "Just tell me to kill your
girlfriend, and I'll stop," but, of course, he wouldn't. The hitchhiker decapitated her in the end anyway, but the guy
with the broken fingers didn't know that would happen, so erm . . . Yeah, it was a good film.
