Day 4- Friday 8th April

As we packed the bus one last time everyone was looking forward to the journey back to Sydney. Some of the delegates had been out of their offices for nearly 3 weeks, doing post and pre tours and spending the weekend at ATE. Their bags were heavy and their cameras were full, they had enjoed their time in Australia.

We had a few more stops before we reached our final destination. We visited the Nan Tien Temple on our way out of Wollongong, it was absolutely beautiful and I am already planning my next trip back. We could of easily spent the day here, it was peaceful and serene. My delegates, however have become very good at keeping to our time schedules and soon enough were ready to hit the road again.

We had one more stop before arriving in Sydney and it involved a little detour. Two of the delegates in my group were from India and these gentleman had done their research and knew we were not far from the Donald Bradman muesum in Bowral. After their powers of persuasion and some negioation with Pete our driver we decided it was a worthwhile detour. Branka from Wollongong Tourism came with us and drove ahead us guiding the way. Pete became an expert on driving the Macquarie Pass but this time we were heading up hill, a little more tricky.

It didn't take us long to get to Bowral and everyone had the chance to look around the muesum and take some valuable photosgraphs. We nearly had to drag the men out of there but they were very appreciative that we had made the trip.

With everything ticked off our itinerary we bagan the journey back to Sydney, once again it didn't take the delegates long to enjoy their final snooze of the bus before we reached their hotels.

We made it back to Sydney in good time and we all bid our farewells to each other, as the delegates went their separate ways with appointments to make before their flights home the next day.
