The next thing on the agenda for the group was to go on a Sydney Harbour Cruise from Circular Quay. That would have been very pleasant. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling at all well, so I decided to walk back to the hotel alone.
It’s an uphill walk, along Phillip St. (see the above image), and I nearly didn’t make it. I had to sit on some stone steps, was helped up by a passer-by, struggled up the hill. I know that some people thought I’d been drinking, but it was just that I was feeling very weak.
I finally managed to reach the hotel, sat down in the foyer, and I think I slept in a chair for a while. Then, I went up to my room, and fell down. Not due to dizziness, but to weakness. I could not get up.
Fortunately, I had my mobile phone, and called the hotel desk, who sent up a couple of guys who helped me up and into the bed, where I fell asleep.
