Sydney

I visited the physio this morning to have some work done on my neck prior to the long haul to UAE. Ben, the Chinese Australian physio said, “Bill, I’m Ben, Can you finish the song?” and we both sang about flower pots.

I said, “I have a crook neck and I am here for a miracle before I fly out tonight,” and a woman’s voice from behind a treatment curtain called out, “I want one too!”

Ben touched my neck, then my wallet. Next massage in a hammam in Morocco.

A drive for a view of the harbour at Balls Head, a last tea and coffee and that’s it for Oz for some time.

Just a minor panic at customs when I absently pocketed Sharon’s passport as well as my own and we spent a minute frantically searching for hers. She’s in a good mood. I didn’t get the look.

Thanks Dave and Jo and Diane and Rick for putting us up. Best B & Bs on our trip so far.
