Today was a loooooong day on the coach, making our way to
Sydney. We were up early and on the
coach by 7:30 as we had about a 9 hour trek south. Our first stop was a new one
– our Tour Director’s parents own a macadamia nut farm and we stopped at their
place south of Coff’s Harbour for a quick visit about macadamia nuts, how they
harvest them, etc… Was really cool as I
really didn’t know they are native to Australia. The bigger & better ones don’t
necessarily come from Hawaii but from Australia.
The main part of our day consisted of riding in the
coach. We played songs, watched some
shows, played a scavenger hunt game, and took some naps. We arrived in Sydney with enough time to
check in and then head to the Sydney Tower and go up and see the city all lit
up. The weather didn’t cooperate as we
made our way to dinner. Pretty much
downpoured on us on our trek to dinner.
Needless to say we were pretty happy to see our coach show up to drive
us home.
We’re all praying the weather holds for the next two days in
Sydney, but it’s not looking promising.
So if you all could help us out by doing the non-rain dance, we’d
appreciate it mucho!
Better head to bed as we’ve a busy day touring all of Sydney
on Sunday!
G’night!
