We begin Wednesday in our hotel debating what to do this morning. The car has to be removed from the hotel carpark at our 10.00am checkout - why are there so many RULES in the world! The girls have told me they are not to keen on the idea of ever moving to Sydney. I find this hard to fathom because at their age I couldn't wait to get … [Read more...]
