Saturday 20 October 2007. Day 61. Campervan - Sheralee Holiday Park, Rockdale (Sydney).

Calmer this morning but there are lots of big sticks on the ground everywhere. We do some washing – the sheets and towels and then head off into Rockdale.

Today we have decided to get our travel diary typed up in to our blog, and can’t wait!! We spend from 11.30am to 6pm at the internet place, typing up the diary and adding photos to our blog.

The main highlight of the day was finding out that we can have a whole day’s unlimited internetting for only $8 (about 3 quid!) plus we have lunch at Goffy’s next door, which consisted of huge, delicious burger with salad and beetroot.

Once we finish typing for the day, we walk home via the “local” Coles supermarket which takes about 40 minutes to reach, and it’s dark by the time we get there. It’s another 30 mins home from there, as we cannot identify any possible shortcuts in the dark, by which time we are knackered!

We arrange to go out for a meal with Ieuan’s mate Nolan and his girlfriend tonight, and they offer to pick us up as Nolan coincidentally lives only a couple of streets away. We head through slow, heavy traffic into Sydney and go to an Italian restaurant in Surry Hills, waiting in the pub opposite until a table becomes available. Had a great evening and a nice meal – pesto with gnocchi / risotto and a parmesan and rocket salad, and bought a bottle of wine from the pub as it was BYO.

Head home via the far quicker expressway and show Nolan and Steph the van!
