The Adventure Has Begun

We left home just after 6am and began the drive to Sydney. We had a great day for driving and the car trip was fairly uneventful thanks to the reward tickets and DVD player keeping our back seat passengers amused. We stopped for a grand total of 30 minutes for the whole trip! We wanted to stop for lunch in Yass but the temperature was 6 degrees so we got out of the car, ran around the park a few times then continued on our journey. We arrived in Sydney around 5pm. So far there has only been 1 request to go home!

Day 2 and a very happy birthday to Nicholas who got to spend his birthday on the road! Today was a visit to Sydney Nana followed by more driving. We headed through the Blue Mountains to Orange. Although there weren't a lot of kilometres to cover the windy roads and hills made things fairly slow going. We arrived in Orange around 4:30pm and were thankful not to be setting up our camper because it was very cold! We headed out to the Robin Hood hotel for some fine dining to celebrate Nicholas' birthday. One more request to go home today!

  1. Hello Lloyd-Shrimptons! Glad to hear that the start of your travels have been smooth. While you may have had two requests to go home, we have had a few requests (just today!) for Mrs Lloyd-Shrimpton to come back to Sparklers. "6 months! That's going to take ages!" says Daniel.
    Love you guys!

    P.S Can we have a tally update/leaderboard on the reward tickets?
