Well it has happened, I have crossed the boarder and headed south to Sydney. Hubby wanted to go to a model train thingy. What a way to get a 'family' holiday except he gets three days of pleasure first.
We are now here in Castle Hill, not far from where he will be and I was advised to take two sets of clothing, summer and winter. Well my jeans are on now and my jumper(cardigan) to keep me warm. We are in a double bed and I miss my king size already. I left temps of 30's for something around 17. Not good.
Girls have been good. Mind you I was over 'are we there yet?' or 'are we in Sydney?' at least they were interested. Was a good trip down but OMG the road works and spped cameras literally in the middle of nowhere.
One thing we had to do alot was stop for toilet breaks. Interesting to say the least. Thank goodness for the Dettol Hand sanitizer.
I managed to get a couple of photos.
Here is the sunset on our way into Grafton. I was in the car.
The sunset was more pinky than this.
On Friday morning after overnighting in Coffs Harbour we had to have morning tea at the Big Banana.
One chocolate covered banana for the big kids and the little ones had regular ones. Anyway here are the girls in front of the Big Banana. This is the only one were Katie is not being silly and hiding her face.
This banana you can walk through and it tells you how long it takes to get banana's from the banana plant. Something I did not know.
Now that it is Saturday. The weather is not great and we had a thunder storm last night. Today we are off to a couple of scrapbook stores for me and then off to the Movies. Hopefully tomorrow we get to Taronga Zoo and the Harbour Bridge.
Till next time
