Day 2 - No. 2
On reflection, I realise I was a bit mean-spirited re earlier transport-related comments. Forgot to mention a couple of positive experiences -
Cars actually stop for jay-walkers. Bit confusing at first - you stop, they stop - look at each other. Then I realise they're waiting for me to cross. Very polite.
Had my second bus ride today. VERY jolly woman driver asked me where I wanted to go and informed me she was happy to drop me there whether there's a stop or not. Also, on return, if I didn't make it to a stop when the bus was coming, just to go to the nearest cross street and the bus would stop. NOt quite my experience with Melbourne bus drivers!
People starting to arrive for the Conference and there's a genuine air of excitement around the hotel and the Convention Centre where it'll take place.
More soon.
