Any which way ?

I had another post operative BAHA appointment yesterday. It was in the city so I decided to use public transport. Driving in Sydney city traffic is crazy and dangerous.

I used the transport info website to plan my journey. Easy I thought...

To start with it suggested the express train from Penrith that terminated at Central station . Great !

It was followed by a long, complex walk...10+ Left /right turns. BOO !

I knew Kings Cross Station was closer with a shorter direct walk.

I tried again but it wouldn't give me the option I desired so I started my journey in the trip planner at Kings Cross. Since I knew the train times.

“A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four kisses” Henry Louis Mencken

So I clicked to view the suggested trip ...

Option 1 ...what the problem with this ?
Oh you just want me to enjoy a little train ride from Kings Cross to Edgecliff , change platforms and come back !

Option 2 why would I catch the train to Town Hall ...is not the shortest nor easiest walking route ! The walk from Central was easier !

Guess it is good for exercising the feet but not your brain !

In other news ... The skin graft where the abutment /screw was inserted into my skull is healing well. I have my next appointment 16th December and hopefully the abutment will be fully bonded with the bone and healed so I can get the sound processor fitted. I already have the appointment to follow the surgeon's appointment.

Yesterday , the wind in the city was so biting and strong, I think they said over 90km /hr. I was almost blown across the street while I was stopped waiting to cross at the lights.

Kings Cross is a very sad place, I saw a few people obviously with severe mental health issues , probably homeless from their disheveled looks and scruffy/tattered attire; crying or shouting at no-one in particular. No directions in life ...no one to care.

I also saw the adult night clubs (from the exterior) , Life size posters of semi naked women advertising the clubs 'entertainment' and the 'adult' shops ( no I didn't go in LOL).

I am still sure public transport was the way to go.
