The Big Smoke

Well, here we are in Sydney.

Two more sleeps and I will be home in my own bed .. I must say that I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed!

It seemed like a very long drive today. Five hours on the freeway is long and boring. Our trips prior to this have been on the back roads which are much more interesting than long straight freeways. Today felt like it was never ending.

I have to mention a lovely little cafe named Rosie's, at John's River. We were in need of a coffee and there was a sign on the freeway between Port Macquarie and Taree promoting Rosie's, so we took the turn off and BGWLBH ordered her coffee while I checked out the gift shop.  I didn't buy anything, but BGWLBH LOVED her coffee so much, she told me to mention it here in the blog.

After the long freeway trip, we were very grateful for google maps getting us through Sydney today .. made it so much easier .. and we were lucky with all the traffic lights and barely stopped for the entire trip from one end of Sydney to the other.

It was a huge relief to finally pull into the carpark of the Metro and after we checked in ... guess what we did?  YES!! We shopped some more.

We met Bubbles at the Miranda RSL and had dinner there. I had the veal scallopini this time round and it was delicious. I probably had one too many wines and I think that I'll sleep soundly tonight.

We're a bit sad that the road trip has come to an end, but excited about shopping til we drop tomorrow.

BGWLBH and I both agree that this has been the best road trip yet. Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. We are also exhausted! My food options have not always been favourable and I think I've gained a couple of kgs so I'm looking forward to some healthy, organic meal options and some bone broth, which I've missed a lot.

Meanwhile, I need some sleep tonight.

Nite all.
