The Quinn Family Excellent Adventure: Goodbye Port Macquare

Our campervan was parked immediately behind a fancy dinner place and bar. As we were dosing off it was pretty noisy with an older party crowd. I was happy they get quieted down right around 11 PM. We slept great and were up around 6 AM to start our final push to Sydney. The clouds blocked our desire for a morning walk at the beach so we simply split after breakfast. The drive was great, thankfully no wind at 110 KM/h. Sydney had a few toll roads that I could have arranged payment for in advance. The driving distance saved was very little so I did not go for it. As we approached Sydney and were navigated away from the Tool roads, I wondered if that was not such a good idea. We were now in the core of the city, going quite slow, winding towards a really slow tunnel. It was very cool but surprising slow for a Saturday. Oh well. We made our AirBnb at 3 PM and chucked our stuff into the room and began a little Jucy van cleanup. We had the entire next day to ourselves so no rush. Switching from living in a van to a room and backpacks took a bit of time. We enjoyed a really nice Thai dinner and crashed early after a long day. The next day was kinda busy. We needed to buy a carry on luggage roller for our extra's. We will soon be losing out large scuba gear roller once KT's stuff is able to get back in it. We've come to enjoy having a big extra bag around but it is a bit of an anchor. Diving places offer cheap rentals so all we really need to carry is perhaps masks and snorkels. Fins/5mm suits/Knives/Mics items can be sent back home now. It's costing us 60 bucks or so per flight for this extra bag. No point in continuing to pay this anymore especially in countries where diving is not an option. Michelle's new roller can hold her backpack becoming a carry on. Outside of flying the roller can hold our extra stuff we seem to often have. Cool. The mall we intended to go to opened at 10 AM. The Jucy drop off is 10 AM - 2 PM. I even hoped to get a car wash in too. After a quick cleanup of the van we headed off zipping around town. The Jucy people were really happy we had washed and cleaned everything. Apparently we drover of 6000 KM's, wow. A quick Uber back and we are Jucy free and ready to pack for tomorrow's 11:20 AM flight. We had lot's of food still left which our AirBnB hosts are soon to enjoy. We prepared offline Google maps, arranged 3 nights accommodation, did some MagicJack/MagicApp configuration and got our heads into packing and clearing airport security.

I forgot to mention this bird in a previous post. This bird was at a previous campsite. I was walking near her when she chirped and almost attacked me. She was resting atop some eggs for days on end. She had a typical 3 chirp warning for anyone that came close.
