Back to Wollongong

I took a bus from Brisbane to Sydney on Monday night. I didn't arrive in Sydney until noon on Tuesday and then had to wait at the train station for a train to Wollongong where I have been staying the last few days. I didn't arrive in Wollongong until 5pm, so I was exhausted by the time I got here. I am staying with Anne and Jim. Anne is mother of the girls I lived with in Melbourne. They have taken me in and spoiled me rotten, as all my Aussie moms have done.
On Wednesday we went and had a picnic at a local waterfall and then went for a tree top talk. That evening we went to a rotary meeting and I met plenty of their friends. On Thursday we went into the Royal national park and had a picnic at a beautiful beach and waterfall spot. It was a very nice afternoon. We spent the afternoon driving around the park. We then ended up in Sydney because Jim had to go to the dentist. We didn't get back to Wollongong till close to 7pm. We just had a quick meal and then watched a bit of TV and played a few games. I had a great time, but was exhausted once midnight hit. Today I am packing my stuff and catching the train back into Sydney. Mom arrives early tomorrow morning, so I am getting a room so that she can sleep if she needs to once she arrives. We haven't got official plans of what all we will do while she is here, but we defiantly want to see all the sights of Sydney. I can't wait till she arrives so she can experience what I have been doing this last 7 months. I will update you on all the fun we are having once she gets here.
Until next time,
Cindy
