We packed for the second leg of our tour and got on the road with about 60% of what we brought on the first leg. We downsized clothes, bikes, bbq, tables, chairs and hope that the tent will be a little easier to pack from now on. Of course the kids nearly tore each other apart before we left with Em smacking Lachie over the head with a stick and causing a serious bump and blood. Threats of leaving her with Malcolm Naden seemed to have some impact, so fingers crossed there will be no playing with sticks in the future.
We drove to Sydney to catch up with Baby Isla and of course Liz, Mark and Chewie too. Nana Margaret came out to see us, and a lovely evening of fun, pizza and chat was had.
Never before had Em, Lachie and Isla shared a room, so we knew there would be trouble ahead. After a lovely catch up with all, the kids went pretty much bonkers and we ended up splitting them all into separate beds until they crashed. Looks like a fun day ahead.
Saturday we took a trip to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store to try and revive my fried power cord. Much to my surprise the cord was not covered under warranty as there is only a 3 month warranty on replacement parts, but as I had spoken to them earlier in the week they honoured the error to replace it for free. So yay, finally back in business.
Em took Daddy shopping and got her a new dolly. This was the long awaited “prize for learning her alphabet. She was in absolute heaven, more so as Lachie and Isla were green with envy and dying for a shot of the doll. The doll had to be put away until Em was alone or an eye would have been lost in the war for it.
After being spoilt with a beautiful roast and a great weekend, all too soon we packed up and it was time to bid Sydney farewell again. Though I was keen to drive by Concord we didn’t get the time, but we’ll be back again soon enough.
