Our new metro in Sydney is pretty awesome and it’s driverless so a speedy trip. Yes, other countries have had driverless trains for years but this is a first for Sydney.

Rehab gyms are foundational to my journeys. I bumped into a couple of the Exercise Physiologists from my rehab gym at Sydney airport. We couldn’t help but to get a pic.
