For me this is really the same day as 31October, but it's too confusing trying to keep to the Atlanta time base while in Sydney.

Things did not work out for us to go to the customer site. I had planned on setting up the computers, checking on the network connections, and reviewing the last week's system status in preparation for work on Monday. Instead, I am forced to endure a walking tour of Sydney guided by the capable Greg. This was truly torture. It started with a great walk across the Harbour Bridge, taking in the gorgeous view of the harbour and the Syndey Opera House.

This was how the day went:

• Nice walk around Sydney
• Outstanding burger and beer at Jackson's on George
• Cars on the wrong side of the road
• Golf at Bondi (pronounced Bond'-Eye) beach
• Five Dollar steak at the 'Tav' (St. Leonard's Tavern in North Sydney)

Truly, unspeakable torture.

All this worked well to keep me awake through the day and put me on track for the Sydney day/night schedule.

I went to bed about 8:30 and slept really well until about midnight. I woke up and called Mary waking her up early on her Saturday morning. Then I went back to sleep.
