Sydney Part I

So I last left off with my life saying I was going to the rain forest. Ya that was cancelled due to the unending rain in this part of Australia. But with that being cancelled I was able to plan my trip to Sydney. We booked our trip leaving Wed. night and staying till Monday morning. We decided to take the train down and fly back. So after over packing for only four days my bag was full and ready to sit on a train for 12 HOURS! I have grown quite patient on this trip, and knowing 12 hours was my flight from LA to Australia, I was trying my best to stay cool. My friends roommate dropped us off at the bus stop and from there we road the bus from Lismore into Casino where we caught the train. I found my seat 28 B, and twenty mins after taking my seat a crazy lady tried to accuse me of stealing her seat. I tried to prove her wrong by showing her my ticket, but that still was not good enough for her. So she took out hers and then realized that she was looking at her bus seat number. GRRR While my two friends are laughing at me accusing me a being a seat thief. The train does not travel to fast, and makes a hundred stops, making it a painful trip. What else makes it painful the seats are not comfortable and they recline to about 95 degrees. So I tried various ways to try and sleep but non seemed to be successful, until I but my tray table down and slept with my face in my pillow breathing out the cup holder. Then I'm woke up by a crazy man on the train who is fighting with the train attendants. "I paid for my ticket" "You can't push me around and treat me like a piece of shit." So while this man is having a freak out the attendants are trying to shut him up, which makes him madder and then it was time to get rid of him. We stopped the train at the next stop and the police had to escort him off. That was truly entertaining. Being around 3 in the morning I slammed my face back in my pillow and tried to sleep some more. I managed another 2 hours of sleep and was woke up by the load speaker that we were running 35 min behind. I managed another 2 1/2 hours of boredom and finally arrived in central station in Sydney. We hopped off the train ready to explore!
