Hello again everyone!!! Not long since last entry but we are staying at a campsite with a bit of free internet every day!!! yay!!! Plus Tim has a laptop - great for us!!!
In Australia now - arrived on Monday & went straight to our hostel, pretty boring. Tuesday we met Tim in the morning then Dan stayed with the bags and me and Tim went to collect the campavan!!! It is FANTASTIC!!! I will get some photos uploaded onto the blog asap so you can all see how cool it is!! It is a high top so we can stand up in it plus we have a fridge! yay! Milk & cheese and cold things!!! Woop! lol. Drove a bit futher up the coast - cant remember where to though. only half hour away. Did some food shopping & bumped into Mikael in the supermarket!!! Mikael is the French dude we hung out with in Sydney! Small world!
Wednesday was pretty cool - went to Australia zoo!! Got to handfeed elephants!!! Was sooo amazing! Plus we saw all the usual ozzi animals - including the tazmanian devil (which i now know is not a made up creature - hehehe!) Really hard to get pictures of this guy though as he kept running around his enclosure! Have decided Echidna's are adorable - they kind of waddle around! so cute!
Thursday, Friday & Saturday were pretty uneventful as we drove 8 hours each day to get to Cairns - which we are at now!! Have seen about 7 wild kangaroos now though - unfortunately they are all DEAD at the side of the road!! Looooovely! So much roadkill on the highway's in Oz! Plus we have a kind of metal grate on the bottom of the windscreen to protect it from stuff which collects bugs (especially dragonflies & butterflies) really quickly!! We are leaving them on there at the moment to see how many we can collect! Quite disgusting but we have to do something to while away the hours! Playing i-spy a lot plus singing ridiculously loudly!! On our way to Cairns today we started pulling faces to the young boys in the car in front!! so we had a massive face-pulling & dancing fight with them!!! Then as we drove past their parents were laughing and waving at us!!! heheh! the joys of roadtrips!
Anywho, thats about it really! having a good time in the campavan as it is a novelty - pretty sure after 3 weeks we will hate it but never mind!!! Plus its great fun listening to Dan & Tim arguing all the time!!! Unfortunately we now have to worry about mosquitos again as they are EVERYWHERE in the evening! we keep trapping a couple in the van every evening and then get bitten to shreds at night!! Great!
Will fill you in as much as possible & upload photos when we can! love you all loads & will see you in a few months! Incidentally, we arrive home on July 5th - so get planning!!! lol.
love love
Bekki & Dan
