World Tour 06
G'day,
Firstly apologies for the lack of updates recently but weve been pretty busy and computer access has been slightly more scarce. Having had a lot of fun in Melbourne we headed up to Canberra, we decided to give the capital a chance despite having heard mixed reports. We booked two nights but quickly realised that one would have been enough. We managed to find a pub to catch up with the footy results and visited the War Memorial (which was pretty interesting in fairness), but that was essentially it. It seems more like a rural town than the capital of australia, so we were keen to get back to Sydney.
We spent another two nights with Robert and Lynette and had some more good food(which seems to be their specialty). We also visited Sydney aquarium and saw Nemo, and some mean looking sharks(photos to come soon). All of us really enjoyed sydney so we said farewell and prepared for another colossal train journey.
Nine hours later and having sampled everything in the buffet car we arrived in Coffs Harbour. We're staying in the Hoey Moey backpackers motel which is lush. Were right on the beach and the bar and restaurant is 10 metres away from our room (en suite as well). The families will be pleased to hear we're cooking for ourselves these days, mostly pasta but its a start. We hired some bodyboards and have been rising early and hitting the beach to get anhialated by the aussie surf. much fun being had and we all have the surfers bug now.
Weve met some cool people here and had a good night out the other day with some canadians from next door. good to see that they still have kebab shops on the other side of the world. were off to byron bay soon but its really cheap here so we decided to have a week. anyway we better be off because we need to be up at sunrise for the good waves and we need to get a beer in before the footy.
lots of love,
Adam, Sam, Ali and James
