DAY SIX: Going mobile

DAY SIX: Going mobile

Fortunately for us I had been added to Mark's car insurance and he has gone to Chicago. Today Vicki and myself took full advantage of free motoring. A few days earlier my cousin Tess had told us about a chocolate shop at Shellharbour so went in pursuit of it, before we went for our yearly sugar intake we went for lunch which came with two chocolate cookies. after eating half one I was that horrified with how different the chocolate is here we didn't bother going to the shop.
We continued our trip to Jervis bay, on the map it looks as though it is right next to Wollongong, but in fact it is 125 km which would have been absolutely fine in my little Citroen C4 with cruise control and climate control, unfortunately that was in Luton and with my sister. We had my Uncles Ford Focus which was nice but didn't have all the buttons I formally enjoyed. The lovely scenic drive to Jervis bay was pleasant however I found the roads and drivers made no sense, every speed limit is so slow compared to what I'm used to and other drivers undertake each other and never giving way, it seems like a free for all until you adopt the same driving style.
After what felt like an eternity we arrived at our destination. Jervis bay was Vicki's choice to make because it seemed close on the map and we had been told about it by Mark, Jane and the kids. To enter this national park it cost $11 but we didn't mind, we drove to a few view points, seeing wallabies and red parrots along the way.
