The end of 2004 Cinda, myself and the kids visited her family for Christmas holidays. One of her untie gave us the opportunity to stay with her at a friends holiday home in Kings Cliff which is just after Byron Bay and is a short drive to Surfers Paradise from there. The only catch was the drive from Bangor (suburbs south of Sydney) to Kings Cliffs, is a 857 Km drive. We were fortunate that one of Cinda's uncle offered us his Mazda 6 and the petrol card (emm car and petrol). The tricky bit was we were going back to Malaysia in 4 days. That meant one day of driving, one day at Surfers Paradise, one day of driving, one day of packing then off back to Malaysia on a 7 hr flight to Kota Kinabalu (we miss those direct flights!!).
Jus the bro-in-law drove all the way and took us about 12 hrs including the breaks for food and toilet.
On the trip back I drove about half of the way and had some crocodile pie at Kempsey. My 21 month old boy was in a bit of distress with a bit of constipation with too much seating in the car. We had to make a couple of stops. But no luck, no "brownies". Being a father, I of course took pictures and film it for future references. Here you can see the distressed boy with his mother. Cinda look worried as well.
We did take Tristan to the doctors the next day and he finally pooped with some difficulty when we had Yam Cha (dim sum) with Cinda's godparents. So nothing like good dim sum to make you go!!!
