Feb 6
woke early
grabbed free coffee at hostel

went to train station and had to help some swiss lady figure out the opal machiene, lost $3 in the process just to get her past the damn process and out of my hair (18 $ fair she had 15$ in correct currency rest wrong country)

took train to airport

apparently my bag is not carry on here, is in the states
reshuffled stuff, checked in wrong counter (damn operated by)
got to correct counter, checked in

went past security
was forced through backscatter, there is no opt out in australia apparently, and then got a pat down and swab anyway

growl

then icky icky bathroom

then free wifi and buying aussielent

then boarding plan

then naps
then food, apparently my flight came with food, but the guy next to me didn't, but i got economy? maybe b/c i booked through air new Zealand and not virgin australia? weird
listened to audio book
napped more

landed

security, such a fuss, they are super super anti anything coming into the country

then got uber to hotel

checked in, quaint thing, not very modern, then again this place itself (town) may not be

wandered to grocery for fruit and breakfast and water $12.93

went to pub called Post House for pint of stout and pizza $28

wandered back now on wifi rejiggering things for tomorrow

yet again picked place too far away from my end goals :(

i suck at hotel picking
