Having seen all the major sites Sidney, we day tripped to Wollongong. It has one of the largest Buddhist temples in the southern hemisphere. It’s home to one of our favorite characters on Love on the Spectrum. Why not? Maybe because it’s a two hour train ride each way. And maybe because it’s not that great.
We followed it up with a nearly 12 hour day by train to Melbourne. Neither of these things are recommended but, like all choices we make on this trip, were interesting adventures. The best part was an overly excited man who enthusiastically told us about the train bathroom situation. “Go back there for the spacious toilet. You don’t want this one, it’s too cramped. I call it the ‘cramped toilet.’ And make sure you lock it, because if you don’t, anyone can walk in…and no one wants that in their brain! If I see a door, I’m opening it unless it’s locked! So be sure to lock the door.” He also told everyone else in the train car this very important information. And he used his outside voice.
