Thursday morning saw us catch the early ferry to Manly. This is a beautiful ferry journey and gives you stunning views of the harbour and the various bays around the CBD. Manly is famous for its beach, and we were lucky to be there on such a glorious day. We walked along the promenade, but didn’t have time to do the Manly to Spit walk. We did make it to Ocean World, however, which is quite possibly the biggest disappointment of my time in Sydney! It could have been quite good if the glass had been clean and there had been slightly more to see, but as it was even with taking my time I had covered the entire aquarium in 20 minutes. I had to be consoled with chocolate instead. We did manage to find Ugg boots, which should make me very popular with at least one of my sisters! I’m still struggling to understand the allure, but that is probably because I am old before my time and can’t bear people shuffling in their footwear!
As some of you know, Thursday afternoon is physiology viva practice, which I have been going to for the last five weeks. This week my topic was pressure-volume loops of the left ventricle, which I vaguely remembered from medical school. I’ve really improved my understanding of physiology through these sessions, even if sometimes I can’t quite articulate as clearly as I would like. Even better was going out for drinks with everyone afterwards. I have had the best time working in the ICU and it was lovely to know I have made some great friends in the process.
