Tuesday 23 October 2007. Day 64. Campervan - Sheralee Holiday Park, Rockdale (Sydney).


Do some laundry and pack up Ieuan’s Mum’s birthday present to send off. Go into town for Lou to get her hair cut at “Muse” in Surry Hills as recommended by the Time Out Sydney Guide. Ieuan goes to look for record shops but isn’t very successful in part due to a bizarre road numbering system where you can have 2 properties in the same street with the same number, what’s that all about? Afterwards went back into town for some lunch, dodgy chicken sandwich for Ieuan, convincing him that he was going to get salmonella poisoning.

After shopping we headed to our favourite wine bar “One Alfred Street” to meet Nolan for drinks. One glass and most of a bottle later (Cabernet), Nolan finally arrives, we order a further bottle (Tempranillo). Sometime later Nolan’s mate John arrives and we order yet another bottle (Montepulciano). Somewhat tipsy (well at least Ieuan and Lou were) we all head on to Sailor Thai for some tea, where we ordered a mixture of fish, beef curry and chicken dishes to share, along with another bottle of wine (type unknown, or at least forgotten by the authors).

After this bloody good scran, John headed home, whilst Nolan took Lou and Ieuan for a final drink for the night, just about finding a bar which was still open although closing anytime now, and a somewhat startled Nolan finds he has a relative working behind the bar. Quickly supped a large glass of wine (perhaps we shared a bottle??) before catching the train home and stumbled back to the van.
