In central Sydney for 2 days we stayed with a lovely lady called Eleri. She lives is a really cool area of Sydney called Erskinville. It's quite a similar vibe to Camden Town. Her house is a three level set up that she designed herself. From the outside it looks really small but the same as me once you see it you can tell it's perfectly formed. The only issue in the two days in central Sydney was the weather. It pretty much rained solid.

On the first day Angela went to met a friend of hers from Wolverhampton who has been travelling and I went for dinner with a friend who emigrated here over a decade ago. It was a great afternoon with Karen at the Opera House Bar. There were lots of remember when moments? It made my day sitting and chatting with her. Angela had read about a route south of Sydney called the grand ocean drive. We found some information about and have now set off to ride it for 4 or 5 days over Christmas. We started in a town called Bundeena. The first day from Bundeena took in a ride through a national park and into the town of Stanwell to spend the night with a host called Kieran and his 3 Spanish guests. The road we travelled had quite a few good downhills with the best being from Bald Hill down into the centre of Stanwell. I did get the fantastic photograph before riding down. Kieran's house was very eco friendly with purpose built pet runs through the trees for the possums and Sugar gliders or as they are known in Europe, flying squirrels.

Christmas eve came with no where to stay. I now know what Mary and Joseph went through when they set off for Bethlehem. I'm thinking that if they can get a stable in war torn Judea then we could sort something on the east coast of Australia. No room at the inn so for Christmas eve 2015 we stealth camped on the beach.
