Here it is - Sunday morning and we decided to break camp and head to Sydney from the Blue Mountains. Not a long drive but one I am not looking forward to as the idea of driving around Sydney in this camper doesn't appeal to me. So I have a plan to minimise the amount and area of driving I will have to do.
My plan is simple - have the motorhome break-down again (this time is wasn't my fault) and need to be towed to the nearest dealer - who of course isn't open on a Sunday. Then have to go to a hotel and spend the night till the dealer can look at the van on Monday morning and diagnose the problem. Pretty clever - right?
So, with the van down for the count - no one open - we had the tow driver drop us at a train station in the Blue Mountains and headed for Sydney where we ended up at a great apartment/hotel right next to Darling Harbor. You have views of the Sydney Aquarium from the balcony and a 5 minute walk takes you directly to the Ferry docks. Couldn't have been better.
We toured the harbor and out to Manly Beach by Ferry - enjoyed dinner overlooking the Pacific, and back to the hotel. Added bonus - we even got access to the internet so that we could update our blog...
Tomorrow we get the news on the Van's prognosis - but either way - I am happy since I ended up seeing Sydney without actually having to drive around here. What a cunning plan...
