I had breakfast at the motel and said my goodbyes to everybody. The weather was sunny but cool so I rugged up with extra thermals.
Adrian and I were going to ride to Sydney with Nick along the coast road (Princes Highway). We waited whilst he loaded his bike which looked like an overloaded camel by the time he finished. We headed out of the motel intending to refuel at the Ampol service station just north of the bridge in Batemans Bay. Adrian and I made it but there was no sign of Nick. He must have stopped at a service station in town. We didn't see Nick again. I hope he got home to Bondi Ok. Adrian and I headed north and made good progress as the traffic wasn't too bad for a Sunday. We stopped in Nowra for a coffee and a snack. Because the run to Sydney was only 300 kms that was our only stop. We had a pretty fast run through Wollongong and the F6 freeway until we got to Kirawee and hit the traffic. After that it was pretty slow going. Adrian headed for Botany road whilst I went over the Captain Cook bridge and took the M5, Eastern Distributor and harbour tunnel to arrive home on the Northern beaches at 2pm.
I was greeted by Jacki with a list of all the things that had gone wrong or weren't working since I left on 27th April.
Nothing changes!!
