I'm all ears

I'm sure you've all been worried about me. I went to see a doctor yesterday and discovered that I have an ear infection in both ears. That was a relief because I was starting to worry that I may have done serious damage while scuba diving. The doc gave me some meds and I should be back to normal within a week. Until then I will continue to have a few balance issues. It's strange because when walking, sitting, standing I have the same feeling as though I've had a few drinks. It's not bad once you get accustomed to it.

Yesterday, a Japanese friend who I met in Tasmania showed me around the city. We bought tickets to see a play at the Sydney Opera House tonight. Not really sure what I will do until the show, but will probably resort to the usual - walking around until I stumble upon new neighborhoods and then maybe grab a coffee and read my book. Right now I am feeling the effects of 4 months on the road and have begun "cool down" mode. I figure that I eased into the trip while in Costa Rica (my first stop) and now it's time to gradually ease out of it.
