Adventures over East

Roger and I flew to Sydney at 23.45 on Wednesday 8 December. We didn't sleep on the uncomfortable plane so arrived rather tired on Thursday. What a blessing to be met by Roger's cousin Alan who kindly took care of us and drove us up to his home in Springwood with his wife Carolyn who had herself just returned from a visit overseas (good timing for us).

They lent us their car and we drove from Springwood (in the Blue Mountains near Sydney) to Wentworth Falls to visit Roger's Aunt Margaret.

We had 2 lovely days with Alan and Carolyn and then they drove us to Sydney for Aunt Jean's 90th Birthday celebrations on Sunday 12 December. We enjoyed catching up with all the extended family. It was a very emotional time for my darling. Dave and Sue (Roger's brother and his wife) then drove us up to Newcastle to spend a couple of nights with them until our adventure drive to Melbourne with them beginning Tuesday 14 December. We sure did have a great time together and have Dave to thank for wonderful, comfortable accommodation along the way. Just a couple of photo's for you to enjoy.
