Where I stayed
Same place as a I keep saying :p
Wednesday, we took a wine country tour which included a stop at a reptile garden. We went more for the scenery. However, when it came to doing the wine tasting, Mom opted out but I figured "when in Rome......." you know the rest. Oh the sacrifices I make to keep harmony in the group :p.
Thursday, we took the bus downtown and was able to get in touch with my cousin Drew (as well as Mom's nephew) at his hotel. He invited us to join him and the team to a BBQ hosted by some of the Australian competitors in Liverpool (everyone get out your Sydney, Australia area maps and turn to page...). We took a 45 min. train ride to the Liverpool stop and then were picked up by our hosts to take us out their dojo. We got to have some really good food and mingle with some of participants from the USA, Canada, Germany, and of course Australia.
I don't have time to go into detail. We're about to head up to downtown Sydney or just simply put "The City" as the locals in the surrounding towns say and what we have to watch for on the bus signs to catch the right buses. Time to go to the "city".
