Day 1

Well after a long haul we made it this far at least! Hmmm more information you say?

We headed off about 10.00 ish this morning and put ourselves in the hands of our GPS unit - commonly referred to as "Holly" (for sci-fi geeks note obscure Red Dwarf reference there). Now here is where I must admit she hasn't always been totally reliable but we decided to trust her even when she didn't go the way we were expecting! Anyway - new experiences and wow is all I can say. One minute we were in Arncliffe the next we were emerging from a tunnel at Milsons Point....... Yep thats right - even after watching the movie Daylight - I have now been in the Harbour Tunnel. Talk about quick trip..... love the service in there too - there was one lane shut due to a breakdown and signs everywhere told you to tune into the radio where you were kept updated on what was going on. How cool!

Anyway enough blabbering about the tunnel - although did I say how cool it was ~L~. With one short stop we made it to Bulahdelah about 4:30. The kids and I hit the pool whilst Tony went searching for a grocery shop to buy a chicken and some salad for dinner. The motel is really nice - clean, tidy. And talk about room! We have 2 rooms and between them have 2 double beds and 3 singles! Anyone in the area want to join us?????

Think thats about it for today - not much to report - lots of driving. Oh did I mention how in awe we are of the Harbour Tunnel............

Edited to add: Bulahdelah has one redeeming feature - the local (and only) supermarket stocks Perky Nana's ......... well they did till we came to town - now they are out of stock! (Oh and Tasha has decided she likes them again!)
