When I woke up in the morning, I realized this was the last morning in the roof top tent. Mo was feeling a little better, but was still recovering.
After a slow morning of breakfast, packing up and having a chat with our French neighbors we headed for the north of Sydney. Once we crossed the harbour bridge, we ran into constructions and due to that I took the wrong lane and could not get back into the right direction, so suddenly the only option was driving back over the harbour bridge, after a bit of turning we got into the direction of the bridge again, but also here, many lanes and little signs, so we missed the correct entrance, but there was a side street, so 3 x left should get us in the right direction.
In the street every car was stopped by a police officer, it was clear there was something going on and everybody is instructed to drive in a curtain direction. When I told her I had a little fight to get to the north of Sydney she, replied: “You are Dutch! Goedemorgen”. After a little laugh she said the street I intended to take was blocked of due to the Israeli president visiting, but she explained clearly how to get back to the entrance of the bridge.
A good half an hour later we pulled up at the house of a coworker where we would unpack, leave the camping gear and sleep our last night in Sydney. We got a warm welcome and a quick show around of the house. After this I started to unload the car and take of the roof top tent and awning. I was 35 degrees in the shade, so a nice goodbye of the summer before heading back to the winter in Estonia.
After lunch I drove the car the place I bought the other car. I got a warm welcome and we first talked 15-20 minutes about our trip before we talked business. We agreed on a reasonable price whe both where happy with, considering the engine would need to be replaced. After that I was dropped off at the train station. It turned out this train would go all the way to the north of Sydney, so I did not have to change. (In the end I did have to change as the train did not stop at the stop I had agreed on, but that was just a few minutes of delay.
As I wanted to take the battery pack, but it had to much capacity I tried to open it up and take out the battery back. After a bit of convincing I succeeded.
We had a lovely meal with Eszter and Michael and their daughters. After that we finished packing and went to bed in a pretty warm room.
