Mei, Paul, and I planned to drive to Canberra and back in one day. Mei just got her red 'P' driver's license and was her chance to use it during our day trip. We didn't quite make it to Canberra, not because Mei was slow, but the trip was more leisure, didn't matter where we ended up, or even if we got lost. It was an adventure trip.
First stop was unplanned. We saw some signs to the Nepean Dam, which looked similar to the Hoover Dam in Nevada/Colorado. Then we drove to the town of Bowral, famous for the Tulip festival and the home of the greatest cricketer of all time, Donald Bradman. We drove past lovely country houses around the area of Bowral and Mittagong. And next stop to Berrima where we stopped to check out their pottery/painting galleries, a nice mom & pop coffee shop, then thought, it was time to go home. We didn't even reach halfway thru to Canberra.
On the way back, I took Mei and Paul to this popular Portuguese restaurant at Petersham called "Silvas". Petersham is where you will find tons of Portuguese and Brazilian shops. It was Saturday night and the place was packed. All we could do was a take away and ate the kebabs in the car. Must try!!!
