Husband & I returned from a short break on the south coast this morning and were returning via the Southern Highlands on the Hume Highway, its been a while since we travelled on this highway and thereâs been a new motorway added to it since. Got on the motorway, was lulled into false sense of security when I saw âNewcastleâ and kept on going â¦.. and going. Oooops! thereâs a tunnel ahead, had missed the last chance to get off motorway before we were swallowed into the bowels of Sydney. âDo you know where we are goingâ said husband, âNoâ I replied and he grew pale and cowered into his seat. Signs to other places we didnât want to go flew past. Husband repeated his question and I replied âNoâ again, he grew even paler. Came out of that tunnel saw daylight and the airport. Oooops! down into another tunnel, eeeek! they only take E-tags and we dont have one! Kept going, saw another sign that said Newcastle, heaved a sigh of relief, husband beyond talking. We are now on the northern side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, sigh of relief- Oh no! the approach to the Lane Cove tunnel appears, that would have taken us north west, at the last moment saw the lane that took us north and home. I thought it was hilarious, husband still recovering.
