The main reason we came to Sydney was to pick up a Honda 20i generator which he had bought earlier in the trip and the bloke was holding for us. It was located in Wollstonecraft and at first blush it didn't look all that far, in distance anyway, and being a Saturday it should be relatively quiet traffic wise.
Well, this is Sydney and with heavy traffic and an accident creating a bottleneck about halfway it took us 2 1/2 hours to do 57km! Just as well we have mobile phones these days so we could update thhe bloke on our progress, or the lack thereof!
Did the return trip in under 2 hours as there were no accidents to hold us up.
Boy I would hate to "live" in Sydney!
Anyway, the trip was worth it as the generator was in very good nick, started easily and cost us less than 1/3 of the new price.
Finished off the day with a nice buffet dinner at the Richmond Club with an overwhelming choice of very high quality dishes.
