I started the day with a call to the folks to catch them up on all my travels as well as get a haircut that I was desperate for. Both of these went well, so I relaxed a bit more before going into town. All I had to do was go to an adventure store for a sleeping bag.

I would WALK for 40 minutes past some of the nicest and fastest street cars in production. Quite a grim reminder of how poor I am. Eventually, though, I arrived to pay $100 aud for a very basic sleeping bag before quickly leaving again to head home. I hadn't done much today but energy levels were once again low and I didn't want to push myself before my tour. I walked back past the expensive cars, got on the train and went to bed.
