Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

This time last week we were in Sydney We were there to celebrate, live it up and relax! The Good: It was an interesting weekend to say the least. First stop was a return to the hotel where a year ago I saw the naked man on the balcony. Do you remember the Adventure before Dementia post ?! I haven't forgotten: 'Fifty something, mother of three,  just released after twenty plus years of juvenile detention,  caught up in Sydney sex pest ring.' So the usual thing happens, we get up at 4am take the early flight to Sydney and I'm standing at the hotel check-in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and early. Without my trump card of a husband (that sounds a bit rude) but literally doors open for these guys who travel so much, they have extra wallets for all the various loyalty hotel cards... So it's little old me,  and the receptionist is telling me  my room won't be ready for another five hours.  I'm wondering whether t...

'S he drives me crazy...' It's a flippin' long way to Sydney!  871 km's to be precise. It feels even longer when your eighteen year old son is behind the wheel,  learning to drive! In Victoria, Australia all learner drivers under 21 years old must complete 120 hours accompanied driving before they can take their driving test. Each State is different on all sorts of things,   driving rules and regulations are no different. So whilst we in Melbourne can whizz along at the frightening 120 kms per hour speed limit,  the moment Fangio crosses the border into New South Wales  he must reduce his speed to 90kms per hour. ( For more on Learning to Drive in Victoria, Australia click here) Thus making a long way,  even longer,  and perhaps,  making it faster to go by snail? Don't get me wrong, I am fully supportive of the Learner driver program in Australia. It appears to be one of the mos...

We couldn't leave Sydney with the only sightseeing  being the naked man on the balcony . Thank you for all the comments,  glad it gave you a laugh! So we got up early for a cycle ride. It was a beautiful ride from our  Darling Harbour hotel along the waterfront Admiring all the beautiful places to live... If you had a spare few million. I think no matter how often  you get to visit Sydney you still get a kick out of the  harbour bridge and the Opera House! There certainly are plenty of fences everywhere. At first they seemed quite annoying in my photos Then I remembered   Good Fences and perhaps these are  perfect for my first visit? Have a lovely weekend everyone!
