The Road Trip - Part 2

A much quicker, brisk and all around briefer blog about the end of our trip.

Suffice to say much of what was expressed in the previous post was much the same, except we left from a different location, and visited a different detour location and ended up at our planned destination. But the company was still fantastic, the music was ever present. The other cars got slower. The scenery was still fascinating...ish kept us entertained.

Our detour took us to a Buddhist temple just outside of Wollongong. A terrific place of worship for those who subscribe to the Middle way and the philosophies of Siddhartha or the Buddha.

While I am not a practising...anything I do love the tranquillity of a Buddhist temple and was extremely chuffed when we were able to squeeze this detour in. (Our previous engagement cancelled on account of being a cranky new born baby who does not like to receive visitors later in the day!) 

 We walked the gardens, took in some literature, even stopped and indulged in what most might call praying.... considering I was talking to myself I would think it doesn't qualify as prayer in the common sense. All in all a wonderfully relaxing way to make our way into the suburbs of Sydney and the job that lies before me that I think will be anything but tranquil.

 Again the pictures will convey more than I could hope with words. Hopefully I will have time to write some more about Buddhism in future posts but for now I will bid you farewell.
