From North to South

Hey everyone! We have covered the 4000 + kms and we are back in Sydney! What a journey it has been! We spent the last couple of days in some fun beach towns.

In Coffs Harbour we rented surf boards and played in the waves as they gradually got larger and larger! We were both able to catch a few good waves. Reminded us of Jeju. Miss all you jeju friends!

Continued onto Port Macquarie. We ran on Lighthouse beach for what seemed like hours! It just didn't end! The sand was brilliant white and it actually squeaked when we walked on it! Bizarre!

From Port we drove to Seal Rocks. It was one of the first drizzly days we've had, so we took some much needed time to just relax, and catch up on some reading and writing in our Speedy van. Loved the sign by the beach that announced "Please don't harass or follow the sharks. If you happen to catch a grey nurse shark or a great white, please release it with care. They are endangered species." I figured I'd have to release it with my arms or some other limb attached. SO we didn't swim here!

Onto Port Stevens and Nelson Bay, near Newcastle. Walked and ran all around these coastal towns, and took advantage of the beautiful beaches. Most of the little towns have parks right on the water with bbq, showers, and public toilets! These have been fabulous! We know where most of the public facilities are all the way down the coast! While most people will just use the showers to wash off the ocean water, then head for home, we have full out showers here, fully lathered, washing clothing! Its such a simple life! Love the looks we get from people!

Anyways, the ocean is getting cooler, as are the nights. Burr, the South! How strange! Winter here though is still pretty great!

Currently we're in beach town Bondi. Loads of people all around, tons of surfers out on the water! We'll stick around here for a day or 2, take in the market tomorrow, then its back off to central Syd to drop off good ol' Speedy, and prep for Fiji (aka do 1 month worth of laundry!)

Hope everyone is doing great. All our love.

To all the moms out there- YOU'RE THE BEST!!! Happy mothers day!
