Pete and Lou's Big Adventure
Seems like ages since we last posted a postcard but it has only been a few weeks - time flies when you are having fun!! And don't we know it!! We can't believe we have been here two months already - but hey we are absolutely loving it!!
We headed to Manly after staying in Sydney which is about 20 - 30 minutes by ferry. We absolutely loved manly - it is really relaxed and great for bars and food. We had a really nice Chinese there for about $4 each which is about two quid!! Bonus!! From manly we caught a bus to Palm Beach where they film Home and Away - we took a pic of the Summer Bay Surf Club sign - yes we are sad!!
Although we probably could have stayed in manly for a few months we had to start our travels up the coast sometime! Our plan was to rent / buy a campervan to do this but we decided to leave it until we get to NZ. Instead we bought tickets for a hop on / hop off bus.
We have stopped in a few places so far - Newcastle (great ocean baths), Forster (dolphins everywhere), Port Macquirie (it rained but we did visit a Koala hospital) and Coffs Harbour (it was sunny - WAHOO!!).
We are heading to Byron Bay today which we can't wait for - we have heard so much about this place we hope it lives up to its name!!
We have met so many great people so far, but its hard to keep in contact with everyone as people do different stuff at different times. I think if we were working and staying in one place for a longer period the it would be easier!! Saying that we have exchanged contact details with quite a few people from all over the world - so we may be visiting Scotland / Canada and Germany before too long (LOL!!)
Our plan is to head up the coast to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef! The we are travelling across to Darwin, down to Alice Springs and Ayers Rock, down further to Adelaide and catch our flight to Brisbane. Then we meet up with Lou's family for a couple of weeks. They are flying into Sydney on 20th March but we wont catch up with them til 1st April in Brisbane - we can't wait! Then on 18th April we catch our flight to NZ.....it's all go!!!
As you can probably tell we are having the best time, seeing and experiencing so much!! We are still missing everyone and hoping all is ok!! Keep the emails and messages coming!
Bye for now,
Pete and Lou.
