April 7, 2014. Sydney, Australia. Cleverness.

It is clever. From our apartment at the Guysbrough Hotel/Apartments, we can walk to the Harbourside Mall on covered walkways. Yesterday it rained all day but we left our apartment and spent the next three hours never getting wet. It is clever indeed. First you take the elevator to the second floor and walk along a long walkway, all in our building. Next you walk along an elevated walkway that takes us over two lanes of a busy street, where we end up in a huge parking garage. Halfway along the parking lot you find another covered elevated walkway across to the huge mall. There are three floors of stores and restaurants that any normal person could be busy for a long time. We discovered a People Mover. For a $5. fee, you can ride all around Darling Harbour and going up to the Chinese Garden. The rain continues to pent down but we were covered and happy, investigation the area. The afternoon was warm but wet so we ate dinner outdoors under huge umbrellas watching the Harbour. It seemed to be typically Australian because others were dining out too. Our apartment is convenient. We can walk for ages without getting wet…and we have a washer and dryer!!.
