I'm not the wicked witch of the west, but yesterday I melted

Yesterday, we checked out of our hostel and had about 10 hours to kill before we were supposed to catch our 8pm train. so in order to get out of the sweltering heat, we spent 2 hr in a food court at the big casino (we couldn't afford much else in the place). Then we went and watched "Curious Case of Benjamin Button". then we got our dinner in a different food court in the same complex. Walked around feeling slightly out of place, due to the amount of money flying around the place. Then we headed to the train station and stood melting waiting. After about an hour, we sat and melted. By the time 9pm rolled around, we were puddles on the pavement, on which you could probably fry an egg. At 10pm is was stuffy and we were still waiting. Then at 11 the train became a bus, and we took the bus 4hrs to a different station where we boarded the train, which was so over-air conditioned I couldn't sleep cause I was so cold.
So now I'm a frozen puddle.
Weather.
Oh, the reason the train didnt come was because the tracks buckeled due to the weather and the rails were unpassable, so we had to travel past where the tracks were ruined.
What a day/s

Now we're back in Sydney, which is starting to feel like home, and in search of an apartment, or flat if you will. We shall see how that goes

still in good spirits though.

the luck has got to change sometime!
