This week...
July 30, 2008
While Dave has been busy working this week attending talks and writing the meeting scene, I have been trying to keep myself occupied. On Monday, I walked around the Queen Victoria Building, which is located directly across from our hotel and has four floors of cute boutique shops that unfortunately I could not afford. Yesterday, I walked down to Chinatown. It wasn't a very large area and didn't have much to see or do. I would not recommend walking there, although it is fairly close to the Hilton.
Today, I took the ferry to Watsons Bay. I walked around seeing the views of the harbour and ocean for a few hours. This area has amazing houses, one more beautiful than the next. (The only thing is ... I forgot my camera. Sorry!) However, there isn't much of a town to visit, and I don't necessarily think it was worth the trip. You can get the same view from the Zoo, and at least there you get to see some animals too.
While I was there though, I did happen to see something very interesting. The rescue police, a judge, lawyers, jury, and news stations were at The Gap, which is a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. By talking to an onlooker, I found out that they were there to study the crime scene of a murder that happened at that very location back in 1995. I felt like I was in the middle of a TV show. There is something very eerie about being in a beautiful location and knowing that something so terrible happened at that very spot.
More to come as it happens ... only 2 days left.
