Having exited the airport we awaited a courtesy bus to pick up our shiney hire car, our mission , to make it filthy!
Next stop Bondi Beach & a chance to wow the world with my Baywatch bathers. Sadly it was overcast & rainy, Ian had a dip, just to say he had & emerged from the waves like a portly Daniel Craig,, Sans crocs.....
Hungrey Joes , Australias version of Burger King was our luncheon delight..We are feeling a little weary now as we are 10 hours ahead of GB time with little shut eye.
Wer arrived at the Sky Riders Motel & gaze longingly at our bed, Instead we take a dip & head out.
The 3 Sisters view point is a stones throw away, The vast scenic gorge is a mini Grand Canyon & no less spectacular.
Following a fruitful shopping trip to Coles , the local supermarket , Ian & I have a team of tiny ants propping up each eyelid up with matches.
The Indian restaurant is approximately 200 yds from the motel, Fortunately they mixed up our meals, Ian got stuck with a molten Rogan Josh which I found inedible , he lost his " Pepper Masala" to me.
We plan to crawl into bed & will no doubt be wide awake by 4am..ain't jet lag a bitch.
