You've got mail

This morning, I got a call from reception telling me a parcel had arrived for me. It was from the Australian who had sent me a magazine on Brisbane, where she lives and where I will be going on a weekend-trip soon and a cool collection of 50 Sydney "adventures on foot" that I will be trying out (chronologically?) soon. My fantasies about ferry rides and open-top bus trips on the upcoming long weekend neglected to take the current rainy weather into account. After almost ruining my leather trainers and ballet flats I really have to start looking into rain-proof shoes.
