The drive from Gundagai to Sydney went smoothly, though the kids were getting a little over traveling. We couldn’t find anything for breakfast in Gundagai so I bought a few things from the local IGA to help with hunger until we found something more substantial to eat. Funnily enough, as soon as we had started driving, we turned a corner and found a cafe open, but we kept driving.
Although we made several stops (for food, toilets and petrol) we made good time and were in Sydney by 2 pm. We had a late lunch of chicken rolls from a favourite little Vietnamese place in Mascot, and the kids played in a nearby park that we used to walk to when we lived in Mascot. We then found our accommodation for the next week. It is an old building, is reasonably priced (by Sydney standards) , and just down the road from Mel’s house. Just a few metres past our room is a kitchenette with a stove and microwave, and some living space with sofas and bookcase with books and games. It is a really nice place, with a sort of old-world charm to it. It suits our needs perfectly!
We unpacked the car and then dropped in to see Andrew, Mel, Sarah and baby James. It was wonderful to see them all!
