We decided to leave Sydney a few days earlier than originally planned. Our Sydney hosts weren’t able to break away for any vacation time so didn’t need our services as house sitters. They generously offered to have us continue to stay with them anyway, but we felt at least a little guilty about being such freeloading leeches and our next hosts in Jindabyne actually asked if we could come early. Fortunately we were able to oblige them. We really like Sydney and there is plenty more to see but we’ll be back for a couple of days in mid-March after our stint in Jindabyne is over.
We went out for a great meal at the family’s favorite Italian restaurant as a way to say thank you and goodbye. Next it’s off to Canberra for a couple of days then continuing on to Jindabyne.
