The Bus Forgot Me!

That's my colloquial way of putting -
5:05am: Morning wake up call to the tune of "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz
6:07am: Drop off keys & depart hostel loaded up with all of my belongings
7:10am: Arrive at locked train station. No one else is around
7:18am: I think I hear the doors being unlocked
7:20am: Right on time, I see the bus arrive
7:20:10am: I decide that now is a good time to run into the bathroom for 1.5 minutes and change out of my sweaty clothes
7:21:50am: Run back out and see an empty parking lot - the bus was goners!

Here's the scene of the crime, the Albury train/bus station where I have spend too many hours.

Okay, so then what. Well I hung out with the local homeless guy, who draws lines across the pages of his notebok. And that was cool for about 3 minutes. Then I had a little nap, talked to a local, contimplated getting the hell out of inland Oz and heading for Melbourne & the coast...ahhh, ocean. Finally the ticket office opened and the ticket agent devised a few new routes for me. So this afternoon, I should be catching a bus to Echuca, hopefully arriving in time to still catch a picture of the paddlesteamer!

Until next time...later mates.

And randomly, here's a picture of me, Kate, and her 2 wicked dogs in Lane Cove (Sydney)!
