I’d intended to be out of the house by 8:30 a.m. to make sure we were parked in a decent spot early… to avoid the inevitable traffic and the press of people making their way to the bridge for ‘the walk’.
We actually left around 11:15 a.m. and even then had to stop at the ice rink to hand in a form so the youngest could take part in an upcoming competition. We arrived at Sydney an hour later.
To avoid the crowds we thought we’d try to park in the Entertainment Centre care park but eventually moved round to the car park used by the Power House Museum … we’re members so get a discounted rate… whoopee.
Drove in searching for a spot… and discovered it was nearly empty! Turns out everyone else had decided getting in by car would be too hard so used public transport… and they all found it a nightmare. Either way we managed to park in a nice spot and set off.
Two minutes later we’re down on the forecourt drinking fresh coffee watching the kids playing on one of the ‘artistic’ sculptures that pass for climbing frames.
Suddenly all the stress lifted… we were out of the house… 5 hours early for what we had come to do and nothing to do except relax.
It was a good start to the day 😀
